"Falling"

[Goat Whisperer]

“Falling”

Slipping, sliding, falling, rocks bite into flesh
Weight on shoulders, pulling into fresh
Muck, created by rain drops, hard, sharp, cold
Hold on tight, I will not fold

Burning, aching, fingers scramble
Why in the world, did I make this gamble?
Pull myself up, it’s not far away
Slipping down further, to my dismay

Begging inside, for the pain to cease
Is it worth living, fighting for peace?
Should I let go, set free, relief.
Or should I fight, climb, deserve my release?

Scramble in mud, harder, faster, stronger
Am I closer? No further, longer!
If I try, I can make it right?
If I hold what I dream of in sight?

Something pulls me back, weight on my mind
But I’m carrying nothing, I left it all behind
I let it go, forgave, forgot
Yet it’s holding me here, on the spot

I’m slipping further, closer to death
Vision blurs, mind spins, searching for breath
But then I see it, a light, an angel, I swear
God, he’s finally, answered my prayer.

Pull me into warmth, safety, light
I go slack but they hold me tight
I’m safe now, better I’m home
Now I’ll never be alone.




C & C please. :ninja
