Falling (2008)

My pulse is racing my throat is dry,

I look up to the sky, I wonder why?

Tears flow I wipe them away dry

Why do I fall down the harder I try?

 

Look into the deep below, got a lump in my throat,

I close my eyes, falling, sink like a stone,

Water fills my mouth with a saltwater choke,

My heart is racing, pulse pulsating, waiting to explode.

 

I stop my body from moving and begin sinking,

Want to stop my body and mind feeling and thinking,

Deeper I float, lights above me blinking,

Thoughts are tripping my mind is slipping.

 

For now I have given up the human race,

Eyes salt water stinging, water surrounding my face,

Last memory salt-water taste,

Thoughts, pain, emotions now fade away.
