Falling
 May 2016 Maple Mathers

It's exactly that
a steep drop down
the world at your feet
the ground rushing to your face
throwing caution to the wind:
a sharp slice as you plummet
a piercing whistle in your ears
that irresistible siren call
your control wrested

What waits at the bottom?

this place has some strange ways of pulling you

the world feels so small and there's no time to
w o n d e r
about the places my mind wants when it

i rack my brain and i
try to
remember
the way that it felt way too warm for
november
and the way that it felt like her mood changed the weather
and how i'll spend forever just trying
to
*forget her
Instructions: try to remember to forget her
I used to close my eyes
To hide me away
From the things that were scaring me
When I didn't want to listen
When there were too many things going on

I've grown and undertaken
Some real mistakes
Misjudgments
Decisions that made me judge myself

I find that nowadays
Not much has changed
From when I was a little person
At least for me, anyways

I still see a lot of good
In people
We all want the best
For our children and our favored peers

But there is all of this fighting and disagreement
A true mess
But what future do you want to have?
A place to care and love one another?
Or somewhere to distinguish and compare?

We are all in this together
If you don't realize this by now
You are lost

I keep on trying to love people
