Vertigo

Skies go high above me
Yet the ground is far below
I’m so scared of looking down
I’ve become afraid to go

But my foot catches
My balance can not save me
The ground beneath grows nearer
And the skies I can not see

I tumble over endlessly
As I float gently through the air
I know impact is soon
But I no longer care

The people down below me
Gasp in disbelief
I know I will die soon
But I feel no grief

Now the ground’s so close
I regain my fear of falling
But it’s too late
As I hear death, once more calling
