So I was reading a bunch of my old stuff the other day, and I found this poem...but it doesn't fit my life anymore, so I had to kinda...add on to it.  Anyway, this is what I ended up with...


I'm falling through the loosely woven mesh of human society
The rotten garbage of lost and broken dreams
releasing noxious fumes of hate and despair
and belching bubbles of hope on which my dreams are caught
blooming upward toward the sun
the gold of life and living mixed with silvery love
but I'm barely hanging on
any breeze-no matter how light and gentle
fills me with the fear of falling to the ground
for if I fall
there's no one there
to help me stand and brush off any dust
there's no one there
who will even care
that my dreams have gone on
without me
and been crushed.

I'm not afraid of falling anymore
and my dreams are back where they belong
i know that if i fall
there's someone there
who will care about where my dreams
have gone.
i've lost my fear of falling
so completely,
totally,
irreversibly...
i'm invincible, if i want to be
no one can stop me
unless i let them
i've found the sun,
i've found the hope, and
i know i will never fall.

Remember:Tuck your chin, you're going to get hurt, so expect it and be ready. You might as well see it coming.
-Elizabeth Haydon, Requiem for the Sun
