Well

 There's a well
Far deep in the ground
In it, I fell
Into a slumber so sound

Beautiful and dark
The stones are chilled and cold
Untouchable and stark
With cracks of stories untold

Why can't I get out?
Ensnared in this hard wall
Hollow, empty shouts
How did I even fall?

Struggling to be free
Remaining futile and pained
Dreams of what life could be
Yet this facade leaves me drained

I can't stay here
Though I dream to find a way
Among feelings so unclear
Dwelling night and day

I need to break through
And see what brought me here
Are you honest and true?
Or simply a mirage, I fear

The sunshine peaks in
From the consuming endless black
I see a subtle grin
And then a turned back.
