Question: Have you every felt there was No Way Out!?
No Way Out

Have you heard it said
that when you are lost
within that deep dark hole
there's a ladder provided
to offer desired escape!?

You must welcome a ray of light
to join you as company
to discover its presence there!.
But every rung of ladder with me
is too rotted to bear my weight!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Yes and only by drawing closer to the light shall you be able to rise each rung, one at a time!. LOLWww@QuestionHome@Com

I was in a deep dark hole once
drank myself thirsty, called out for more
for help from inside
heard footsteps approaching
nice light-footed ones
a lady!? come to rescue little lo' me!

Threw down a rope - I grabbed hold
pulled that sweet thing right on in
she was loaded!
Stayed there for nine good years
until one day the spring was gone
bitter drink - bitterness ensued!.!.!.

Then more footsteps
heavy this time
down dropped a long ladder
another climbed in and what a pleasant sight!
more good times ahead for all
disappeared along with the way out!.

Finally a million-year sleep
after wrestling with words
no more warmth or comfort there
leaned abit and the bottle tipped over
crawled right out, and stretched
and yawned!.!.!.

I have been in the deepest of wells surrounded by walls of my on making, with water rising!. I could see the light but I saw no way to reach it!.!.!. and then I saw it, the rope, it was there in front of me though I did not know who tossed it down; but that doesn't really matter does it!.!.!. when you are seeking a way out!. As I climbed out I saw no one and when I looked back the rope was gone; then I realized what I should have known all along, there is always a way out, one only needs to look inside for the message that some might call the answer to a prayer!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Wow Ma this is really a wonderful and great and it took my breath away with it's beauty and soul!.It opened my eyes as i have been stuck in a hole for sometime' but reading this gave me hope and i need to get my ladder and climb out of the hole too!.!.!.I always bare all the weight on my shoulders so my son doesn't have to' and smile and hug him like everything is A ok as kids have enough on their tiny shoulders!.!.Thanks for sharing!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

the ladder they throw with their light
doesnt mean fast,
take the first deal, give up the fight
sometimes the hole is put there you know
just slide right in
make you a deal so you think you win

just think from the hole, not within!.
scratch up the sides refill the floor,
come out on top, be wary of more!.

Been there,I ran around the hole, around and around and around again!.Then around again!.Till I tired myself out!.I was exhausted!.Then realized all the energy I had wasted!.There are so many people willing to throw you a rope,how lucky are you!.New day, new beginning,new friends,who knows what is around the next corner!.There is always a way out!.Someday you will look back at this time and wonder why you wasted your energy on the bad stuff!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Those last two lines are seriously awesome!.

The first stanza is fine!. My issue is with the first three lines of the second stanza!. The wording is such that, even out loud, it sounds like you are talking about discovering the ray of light!. I don't know!. The wording is just a little awkward!.

Edit: Wait a minute, is this an actual message!? Eh!. That's kind of irritating!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

buk is right ma!. lean on us!. enough of us have leaned on you!.

to answer your question, yes i very recently felt like that!. i was about to do something very stupid, but was saved by a person who doesn't know he saved me!. i still feel that my future looks bleak at times, but i'm determined to get through it now!.

All of us have dug holes for our selves
one spoonful at a time, at times

but while we're down here
in the dusty dark
take out your spoon and
dig a tunnel to left and visit me

Again you have struck a chord deep in my soul, and again my heart goes out to you!. I can relate so well to these words!. I offer you my hand, in order to pull you out!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Feel around for the end of the rope, we're all here pulling you up! I'm sure we don't need to, however!. with your strength you can pole vault out of any hole with a pen!Www@QuestionHome@Com

YOU have many who would offer you their hands and their backs!.

I am so proud of how you have learned so swiftly!. It was there all the time, wasn't it!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

there is always a way out even when the rung of the ladder is rotten!. you still have the pole to use to shimmy outWww@QuestionHome@Com
