Inside the Minds of the Unspoken

Fall

I don't believe in safety nets

I don't believe in holding your hand

I don't believe in the lies I've told my friends

I don't think I want to land

I think I want to fall

I want to slip through the misty air and spread my arms

I want to pretend to fly as I drop towards the earth

I want to close my eyes and feel the cool of the evening and hear the swoosh of the wind

I want to breathe in the truth and blow out the lies

I want to leave all of my past above me and fall

I want to fall

I need to fall

I need to accept the earth as I slam down onto it

As I smash onto the dirt, alone and forlorn

As all of me breaks into pieces and scatters across the plains

I need to stand after my collapse and search for my pieces

The pieces of me I want

I need to retrieve my eyes to see clearly

I need to find my ears to listen

I need to locate my mouth to speak my own thoughts

I need to pick up my pieces and solve the puzzle of me

And only when I solve the puzzle can I land

Can I fly

I must fall now

I must fall and crash before I can fly and land

So, goodbye my friends I must go fall now

I must go fall through this life and crash onto a new one

I must go fall.
