"Dont't let the sadness of your past and the fear of your future ruin the happiness of your present."

Catch Me, I’m Falling
I’m closing my eyes, trying to block out reality
With the wind stealing all my quickened breaths
My footing’s dangling over the edge
Afraid of falling into nothingness
Was I willing to let myself let go?
All I’ve ever know was a string of heartbreaks
The fear was making me hesitant, making me second guess
Denial surrounding me, becoming more than I can take
To think for one second was a mistake, a mindless dream
He didn’t love me; I was just a damaged girl
I was so imperfect; loneliness and insecure familiar feelings
Since forever, I’ve shield myself off from the rest of the world
Apparently this boy liked flaws though, especially the ones I had
No, he was like everyone else, he was going to leave
But he didn’t care about my flight risks and broken dreams
All he wanted was to see me start to believe
Believe that the past wasn’t painting my future
And that I can make those shattered hopes whole again
Believe that not everyone could care less about me
He opened my eyes to a life I thought I could only imagine
So I point to the sky and set my heart flying
As I stare down and realize no longer could I stall
Crossing my arms over my chest, ready for the descent
Hoping your open arms would catch me when I fall <3
