Watch Me Fall

Eighteen

Going further, the faded night

Coming closer, the brightest light .

Deep breaths to soothe the pain,

crying in the pouring rain. 

Eyes begin to open, 

as the heart beats faster.

Calling out, 

a cry for help.

Falling down this wishing well.

toss a coin, for all to see 

a new found wish,

to be set free.

running, sprinting 

making my way back home

panting, I can't breathe

suffocating, I can't see

I'm so close,

yet so far.

here I am,

 wondering where you are.
