I forget to look before I fall-
As if I haven't any cares,
None at all.

I forget to ask if I'll be caught
By someone below,
Though more often than not

Someone forgets to be below,
And I fall upon my back,
All alone.

I lie on my back, wondering how
No one could have caught me.
I've fallen aplenty, so now

I always look before I fall
Because the smack of me hitting the ground
Has such a sad, resounding call.

I'm forgetting how to fall into thin air
Because waiting around for you
Is wasted time; you simply will not care.

I always forget to look before I fall-
Now I know better, so instead
I walk away, and rather I stand tall.

I'm taller than the trees,
And skyscrapers too-
Like these things, I do not fall with ease.

I do not look before I fall
Because I won't fall anymore,
Not again, never at all.
I'm prone to love people excessively, even when they don't deserve it. This is about falling for people over and over who don't reciprocate or meet your standards. I'm not perfect and always deserving of someone to "catch me" and I'm not always falling into thin air, though sometimes i do more for people who don't do as much for me. I expect a lot because I do a lot. I love hard because that's the only way I know how. You give someone your all, or you just don't.
This is exaggeration of the situation I'm currently in but it helped by writing this out. Enjoy.
