In my head I lived at the bottom of a well. A dull world, where everything was always in the black. It was dark and silent and not somewhere I wanted to be. I so desperately wanted to go back and relive the days in which I felt most alive. Because in my world, lately I have just felt tangled. I wanted to break free and move on but these inextricable knots just wouldn't have that. And no matter how hard I tried - the more I struggled the tighter the knots became. Every time I thought I was close to the top I always fell right back down to the bottom. I was waiting for someone to save me and all I could do was cry every night because I was just too tangled and too far down. But one day, I saw my reflection and I saw a light. The first light I've seen since I fell down that well and I realized that I am saviour I'm waiting for. If I got in by myself, I could get out by myself. And suddenly everything was colored and my world was bright and I untangled myself and climbed right out into a more beautiful world - leaving memories of the well behind me.
