Fall




Let me go

Let me fall

Standing up

Takes my all.




I don't want protection,

I don't want your net.

I want to free fall

into what ever's next.




I've wasted time

I've never lived,

Want to do more

than simply exist.




I don't want your approval

Or rejection or games

Want to remember

My own fucking name.




I want life

I want breath

I want to breathe in

every second of death.




I don't want your praise,

don't want your reprieves,

I wanna soar thru

A life made by me.




I need history

of whoever I am

I need a silence

that breaks with a slam




Cuz I don't want

crayons and colorful words

I want my own place

in a black and white world.




I want life

I want breath

I want to breathe in

every second of death.




I don't want your approval

Or rejection or games

Want to remember

My own fucking name.




Life just splinters

like shards of regret

reminding me of all

I haven't done yet.




It sings to my body

a dirge to my soul

It cries out a darkness

that I can't control.

So let me fall

and when I'm broke

I'll find wings

Like I've never known.




I don't want protection,

I don't want your net.

I want to free fall

into what ever's next.
