Free Falling

Now I’m falling free,

Suspended in the air,

While the people watch above

Without even a care.

My stomach has that feeling

That always makes me sick,

And I cannot help but hope

That this is only just a trick.

But I know I’m being foolish

This is how it ends

As I plummet to the earth

There are no more pretends.

And as I’m falling down,

I’m struck with one more thought,

If everyone’s up there

Then there’s no way I’ll be caught.

So I slam into the concrete

And shatter on the ground

But just for broken seconds

I still stick around.

Just long enough to hear

The last sounds of my death,

They’re laughing at my corpse

And it takes away my breath.

They finally made clear,

And I cannot help but see

That this is what they wanted

And they’ll pin my death on me.

They don’t want a guilty conscious,

So they do their best to hide

Their sick and morbid pleasures

And their disgusting, filthy pride.

But alas I’m out of time,

This funny little clown,

So I drift away in misery,

No longer falling down.
