*Extending both arms*

Disclaimer : No sharp objects down here

I’m falling
I’m falling far and deep
There’s no way to keep
Standing on the precipice
To maintain this fine
Balancing act
And there’s no going back
I’m being propelled forward
At lightening quick speed
Fueled by this ungodly need
With nothing to slow my descent
Nothing to stop my fall
I close my eyes as
I realize I’m going
Down
Down
Down

I’m scared
Soul bared
Wide open to
Dissection
Harsh assessment
Cold rejection
Of all I am
But what does
It all mean
What good is
The capacity
To love
If you can’t
Take that chance
And dance
On the head
Of a pin?

So I give in
Arms opened
Ready to fly
Taking a gamble
Willing to give
It my all
Wondering
All the while
If you’ll watch
Me hit the ground
Mutilated and
Torn or will you
Put yourself
Out there
To catch me
When I fall?
