Fear Of Falling
(I entered this into a comp but the theme didn’t fit as well as it did here so I’m reposting it under this)
My Hands clutch this cliff
Slipping inch by inch
My palms are growing sweaty
Not much longer l'Il hold on
Yet mans will to live
Won't let me go
Maybe it's the height or fear
That eats inside me
It lingers in my soul
All the same, won't let me go It shows me all my family
All my past and all those memories
That at any point will now be lost forever
All my loved ones
All my dreams
All my achievements I had meet
All of that would wash away
My history irrelevant
Just as I'll soon be
My mind can't seem to accept
The only option left
My inevitable death
My hands that clutch this cliff
Won't hold on forever
Only when I face my fears
Will I release to my obis
And the obvious future behold me
