From the Mere Confines of My Heart

Most of the time I can see no stairway to the sky
So what does this
Sometimes deepness,
Sometimes emptiness,
Sometimes desperation,
Sometimes ambivalence,
Sometimes peace,
Sometimes insanity
Within me
Expect of me?
Can I conduct some kind of skyward pilgrimage
From the mere confines of my heart?
