remember that time?                                                                        
she tried her hardest to climb
the tallest tree                                
wanting to be on top of the world
remember that time?                                                                        
she went too high
the height frightened her
she couldn't get back down
remember that time?                                                                        
she decided to change her fears
by placing a trampoline at the bottom
and jumping onto it
remember that time?                                                                        
she then hung a swing up
and was on it until the rope snapped
then she put another up
remember that time?                                                                        
she got a seat swing
so she could read outside on it
and be suspended off the ground
remember that time?                                                                        

consider this time?                                                                            
her being overwhelmed by the world
she became frightened of everything
she stopped trying over and over again
she wanted to jump from high up;
she wanted to be forever suspended

i'm so jumpy
every creak makes me
flinch away            
a comforting
hand?                          
on my back
i've gone insane
but baby
hold me tight
i know you're here          
yes                                
i am                          
insane                  
but i don't      
even care  
anymore
