The Long Fall

Welcome to the longest of falls. Shut my head down and run and bash through all you are. I can’t feel my grip on anything at all. This common truth I can’t ignore: I’ve always been less then I thought or hoped for. Can’t find my way around even when all surrounds me, Promotes me, helps me live. This stupidity leaves me as the fuck-up I’ll never forgive. Welcome to the longest of falls. It wakes up everyday, looks in the mirror, And spits right in my fucking face. Defined by what I own, A broken soul without a home. Just skin and bones, A broken soul without a home. And now its jaws rip open wide, As nature dies, As my soul cries: "Welcome to the longest of falls"
