A poem about trying to succeed.

I can't tell anymore if I'm

Falling up

Or

Falling down

All I know, is that I'm falling.

.

Slipping in the direction of

Someday

Or

Nevermore.

Like they're different things.

.

The falling makes me dizzy,

Disrupts my carefully

Held center until

It disintegrates

To nothing.

.

Can you

Go home when

You're already lost?

Start flying when you

Have been falling for eons?

How hard is it really to open up

Your wings and learn to soar?

Or is there some kind of

Bigotry that only

Exists when

Someone

Is too

Close

To

S

U

C

C

E

S

S

?
