It’s not for myself, but for
You
That I will stay strong.
Any remaining morsel of self-worth
Has fled
But I will not hurt you
Again.
I swear on my very
Life
That courses through my body to my
Soul.
Even as I’m dropping,
Wind screaming past my ears and
My insides are in my throat and
My head swells like a balloon,
I must remember that soon
The crash will be over, I will
Burn alive
But then be reborn from the ashes once more;
Once more I must face the faces I’ve let down with me.
Even as I’m dying, I must remember to
Dive with courage,
A super-cape snapping behind me,
Valiantly aiming towards the inevitable
Catastrophe.
And I must remember to always
Stand up again and welcome Pain
Like an old friend over for tea:
Because if I were alone I would surely
Let myself succumb to the savory silence.
But knowing you’re there with me,
I now refuse to flirt with destruction
Anymore.
To you I remain faithful and
Strong
So you won’t ever feel the
Fragility of falling
Like I do.
