Footsteps follow closely to a steep edge The sound of a shuttering camera echoes Unbeknownst them a fall will pursue Plunging her into an endless abyss She laughs and carelessly trots along her handmade trail Animated eyes flip through scenery The footsteps lead to a ledge over the river She slips. Her body and her heart plummets Desperate arms fling onto a tree, bruising an already bruised wrist. Her heart continues to fall. Once upon a time, she was afraid. Thought that she may never get back up on her own. Yet now, a gentle yet fierce feeling fills her Frees her. She is no longer trapped in the prison of herself Like a phoenix, a once crumbled heart rises from the ashes of a devastating fire, and leaps into the hands of a new keeper.

The fall of a lifetime.
Footsteps follow closely to a steep edge The sound of a shuttering camera echoes Unbeknownst them a fall will pursue Plunging her into an endless abyss She laughs and carelessly trots along her handmade trail Animated eyes flip through scenery The footsteps lead to a ledge over the river She slips. Her body and her heart plummets Desperate arms fling onto a tree, bruising an already bruised wrist. Her heart continues to fall. Once upon a time, she was afraid. Thought that she may never get back up on her own. Yet now, a gentle yet fierce feeling fills her Frees her. She is no longer trapped in the prison of herself Like a phoenix, a once crumbled heart rises from the ashes of a devastating fire, and leaps into the hands of a new keeper.
