Climbing Out of the Hole

It’s a long way to the top.
It’ll take a while,
But you’ll get there in the end.
You broke some bones when you fell in.
The’re never going to be set straight again,
And you’ll walk with a limp from now on.
Your fingers won’t be able to touch anyone.
You won’t be able to speak,
And Harpies will scream in your ears.
No one will ever understand you.
You will go blind and insane.
Eventually, you will die alone and afraid.
