My Fall



A singular pinpoint start of a disaster.
Manifests itself into a crater.
I chose my route but never expected the fall.
Feet on the edge waiting for the descent.
Eyes look into the abyss of my futures end.
The vacation felt amazing but never expected the fall.

Protect me from my fall and
Steer me from the ledge.
Protect me from my fall and
Keep me in arm’s length.
Protect me from my fall and
Take away the edge.
Protect me from my fall and
Show me the depth.

My fall, my choice.
My fall, my death.
Protect me from my fall.
