Falling through the fragile world
Standing helplessly at a black abyss
Crying to be pulled back into reality
Yearning to reconnect with life
Faltering with every word spoken
Holding back fear, behind teary eyes
Staring blindly at a lightless view
Carrying the weight of a lifetime’s faults
Hiding behind a facade of strength
Hoping to be released from the cage
