&quot;Wit beyond measure is mans greatest treasure.&quot; <br /> <br /> &ldquo;I didn&#039;t want to wake up. I was having a much better time asleep. And that&#039;s really sad. It was almost like a reverse nightmare, like when you wake up from a nightmare you&#039;re so relieved. I woke up &quot;

Falling-
Dropping faster,
inhaling dirt
mixed with lies.
Eyes closed,
arms out.
Ready to hit,
ready for a steady silence,
an end that never comes.
Falling-
Screaming.
Down the rabbit hole,
the more I try to stop...
the faster down I go.

The author's comments:
Most of the poetry I write is about me falling- I always feel that, in life, I am falling for some reason, for something. It's very personal and it's automatically what my brain thinks of when I think about how I feel.
