Falling backwards through air,
Just air.
Falling backwards
Feels like freedom
Until one hits the ground.
Falling backwards feels like LETTING GO,
Letting things happen,
Releasing care and worry.
Falling backwards into a mirage-
I am.
I am falling backwards
Into a mirage,
Because there is no freedom
Below me-
Just air.
There is no concealed safety net- no secrets.
There is no MAGIC.
I am just falling.
That is all.
Falling backwards through air,
Just air.
Falling backwards
Feels like freedom
Until one hits the ground.
