Falling
in the wrong direction
slowly sinking higher into the air
yet still feeling gravity's pull
knowing it's impossible
paralyzing fear
screaming wordlessly, in tears
no one hears
no one can see me
immobile
and yet still moving higher
flying high above the tree tops
far beyond their reach
screams frozen to silence
fear too strong
arms and legs cease to move
as my body realizes theres nothing to hold
no way of getting down
and yet i'm still sinking
i still feel earths pull
trying to save me
from this upward fall
and somehow i know
i'll never again feel grass between my toes
i wake in silence clutching the sheets
frozen in fear, driven so deep
fear engraved, down to my soul
and yet part of me knows
ignoring this fear
would make me a fool
