Falling This notion of the ground slipping away Circumstances make people become- Different Hardens them somehow Emotion takes its toll, Wears you out, Tires you If you hurt long enough- It’s easier to be hollow Trust me Falling When you can’t remember which way is up- Things like being more Or is it less? Of, well anything Don’t seem to matter Solid ground Like cold, wet, cement after the rain Something real to latch onto To stop the dizzying spiral Something Someone To ground you Remind you who you are To bring you back From the dead Or is it ****** Knowing the breadcrumbs are there To lead me back Is how I know I’ll survive the fall
