Deep
too deep
wish to leap
on out, I keep
trying, but I weep
'cause I can't make this leap
this trench of mine is too deep
I start to think "why try", though, "keep
on trying" my heart says, so I weep
for I feel that my hearts words are too cheap
and my mind says "this trench is horribly deep
so don't even try," though even with this I leap
for I do not wish to remain in this trench so deep
and though my mind says "it's pointless" my heart tells me to keep
on trying, for it is possible to get out by a leap
