there's a certain comfort
in knowing that you'll fall again
back into that same body and mind
but now, having more wisdom

because now you know the tricks
you know how to maneuver through
the darkest recesses of  your mind
and everyone else's, for that matter.

you could scream
or talk
or whisper
but just remember

just because you whisper the words
does not make them any less painful to say
you're falling.
