i don't know either

i've jumped into that hole a long time ago
somehow i find myself still down there with no intentions whatsoever of climbing back up
but maybe i should
go explore a little
take a peek down other tunnels awaiting

each time i find a gem, i pick it up and it encourages me to go forward
i can't seem to just leave the precious stones alone
perhaps it's greed
but more so because it creates the hope of finding that treasure chest
hope may not be a good thing

every gem builds up the hope
but these gems may just be strays
what if they don't lead me to what i am hoping to find
then i chance upon a big blunt sign
that states these gems may lead to no treasure
those words of uncertainty hurts
they look promising but my quest may not end just yet

as much as i would love to get my treasure
i am a little tired of this winding path that leads me in circles
a little bit of hope leads to a little bit of disappointment

i should probably leave those gems alone and not get ahead of myself
until i know for sure my treasure chest is there at the end of the tunnel waiting for me
a promise i can be sure of, one that i can trust
maybe only then should i pick up those gems and make my way to my treasure
promise me the treasure then drop me the gems

only the one at the end of the tunnel knows if the treasure is there
only one can tell me when i should continue picking those gems
or if i should at all
for now i'm taking a step
the other way.
