Into the Light

I try to get a a grip on a new life
but I keep slipping back
everytime I claw my way up
I fall back down

everytime I feel hope
I once again have to wear the loser's crown
sometimes I feel feathery with no worries at all
but then I come back to myself

the world crashes down around me
I see my pain as an elusive beast
I try to catch and kill it
to return to my fluffy world

but it always eludes my grasp
and I'm once again forced
to fall back into my hole
and the next day I attempt to crawl out
into the light once again
