One day I started gazing,
Deep into the abyss,
And I found the abyss was gazing,
Right back into me.
So I thought I would adventure,
Deep into the abyss,
How bad can it really be?
Was the thought that came to me.
Very soon I was alone,
Deep inside the abyss,
They said that I had hurt them,
But that didn’t matter to me.
Farther I delved down,
I figured I wouldn’t be missed,
I had always been alone,
Was the lie it told to me.
Every step had a cost,
But I didn’t really notice,
The bill was mounting higher,
But how bad could it be?
Finally my journey ended,
I had lost almost everything,
Only pain lived inside,
Nobody was there to see.
And when I reached the bottom,
As deep as I could be,
I found it was a mirror,
And the gazer, was me.
