Sadness and misery.
Pain and agony.
That's what filled this place.
Tears ruined my face.

Red. Everything was red.
Even my arms and bed.
The colour scared me even more,
As I sat curled on the floor.

They approached me.
They could see.
They knew I wanted to be free.
And they helped with no fee.

They took me from my jail.
They lifted the clouded veil.
They lead me to the rope
That would take me to my hope.

It would free me from this hell.
This hell where I dwell.
It would take me to paradise.
My heart thawed from the ice.

I climbed up the rope of love,
Seeing the light above.
The grip loosened as I climbed higher.
I heard them chant, "tighter, tighter!"

I felt the surrounding world disappear.
I was leaving this world of fear.
I could taste the heavenly place.
They smiled at my pretty, blue face.
