A thousand times to hold on.
To what is gradually slipping out from under.
It’s hard to forget the moments where solid ground was such a vivid memory
When now there is nothing underneath.

As the gravity declines everyday,
I try to grip tighter
To the walls that have encapsulated me in this demonic world.

The walls slip farther and farther away from my reach.

Left feet.

Individual worlds.
Giving me the courage to not fight the adventure of the fall

Let the stars chill me
Spread out my arms and
