Abyss

I'm so tired of falling

It feels like I’m falling into an abyss lately. I keep going down and down, and it never seems to stop. Will I ever get to stop falling? Will my feet ever be firmly planted on the ground?

If only I were actually falling, I could outstretch my arms, feeling the wind whip past me. I might actually be able to feel peaceful. Maybe it would feel like flying.

I get jealous of watching birds be able to fly away. I wish I could swap my life with one so badly. I could just leave and build myself a new home. It would be my own filled with warmth. How am I even still falling? I’ve tried my hardest to reach out and grab anything to steady myself, but it just crumbles beneath me.
