Poetry: “Falling”
Sofie Alexander | On 08, May 2019
I’m falling
Why is it that I am always falling
I never stop
I can’t grab anything to save myself
I’m falling
Over and over again
Is it because I fear real life?
Is it because I’m afraid of what will come when I wake up?
Is that why I am so afraid of sleeping?
Because I know when I sleep,
I’m falling
Over and over again
It’s never ending
I’m always afraid
My anxiety gets the best of me
My hatred towards sleep causes me to look dead
My stress causes me to over work and do nothing but shake
I’m falling
Not just when I’m asleep
But when I’m awake
Anytime I try
Anytime someone tells me to do something
I’m falling
