Lost in The Chasm

Darkness. Complete darkness. A figure stands enshrouded in blackness, and submerged beneath the earth. Palms planted against massive rocks embraced-forming an extended surface. Sinewy digits arise to intertwine amongst conglomerated minerals. Legs used in a sequence, as heels are plunging into this wall. The presence clinging for its life and ascending in a climb of the rugged terrain. Wanting to liberate itself from this hollow sinkhole and traverse into the rest of the world.
The figure is me. I feel trapped, yet I also feel like I am in total darkness. My life is changing rapidly and with every change comes new scenarios and new dilemmas. The chasm which inhibits my pilgrimage of our world is...Ohio. As Megan from "Rock of Love" stated, "the place no one deserves to be in." Ohio should be known as "Hell on Earth." This state really does not offer anything for someone of my potential and it is hard for me to literally get out of here. I desperately need to be rid of this life of mediocrity. I need to enjoy an oasis. A new land, in which art is relevant and expression is appreciated. John Legend is from Springfield, Ohio and he described the best decision of his life as this-"I left." He decided to leave and became abundantly successful after doing so. I totally agree with his decision and I am starting to doubt my success actually taking place in the midwestern state. I love the city I am from, but now that I'm becoming a young adult and I am evolving, the setting around me needs to evolve as well. Hopefully, I'll get my chance to be released and free from the depths of this chasm.
