Falling
I’m falling slowly not knowing which way to turn
 Nothing makes sense; it’s all just a blur.
 I try to grab on to anything I can
 But it just slips away and I’m falling again.
 
 Darkness falls but it makes no difference
 I’ve been in the dark for far too long.
 I hardly even notice as the time passes by
 As I look around it all falls apart.
 
 If only I could find my place
 Like I used to tell myself I would.
 I don’t know where I belong
 It scares me to death that I’m on my own.
 
 The pressure is rising as my confidence is dropping.
 There’s no one doing this to me but myself.
 You tell me I can stop whenever I choose 
 But the reality is that that’s far from the truth.
 
 You tell me it’s ok and that nobody’s perfect
 And deep down I know you’re right.
 Because buried down below, under all the fear,
 There is still that glimmer of light.
 
 I don’t understand how to just let things be,
 I always need to feel some control.
 If I could I’d just sit, take a deep breath and breathe
 But what are the chances of that?
 
 Maybe one day I’ll find where I belong
 I’ll finally feel at ease.
 Until that day just guide me along
 Because in the end you are the one I need.
