I dug a hole too deep
by Jesse Calvert
I dug a hole too deep
didn't realize I was inside
I could've picked any spot
to dig and I chose this
if I climb up
it's a long walk home
if I keep digging
it's even longer
I dug a hole too deep
my shovels getting weak
a new ones too expensive
my hands are pretty cheap
I keep digging though
telling myself to stop
the rains beating down
telling myself to drown
I keep looking up
is anyone there?
everyone looks down at me
I pretend I'm not staring back
