I lost my balance on a tightrope, I'm falling through thin air. I can't grasp standing still, I need to keep moving to stay sane. my mind's a mess, keep my breath steady.
I feel so alone, in a corner.
I lose my breath, I can feel it all closing in on me, falling all around me. I'm surrounded.

The cold floor wakes my body, it sends shivers down my spine. I don't know how but I've survived the night. I must've fell out of bed during a dream, where I was falling from an even greater height. I feel grateful it was just a dream, I still have so much to do, I need to feel like I made an impact, left a mark, otherwise what's the point? What makes me different? I guess I'll find out one day.
