Falling

–Read Falling now, at Anvi’s Thoughts Caught–

‘falling and failing i can’t keep them apart,
my head is shaking and breaking, and i don’t know where to start,
how can it fall down, because it’s always been there,
how dare you leave me, just like these memories, oh too rare,’

Sometimes I feel like I’m all up in my head,
“I’m denied all these rights!” is what the old me said,
The new one wonders if she/me ever had them to begin with,

‘Cause I’ve never met a bridge I couldn’t burn,
Never seen a rabbit hole I didn’t fall down into,
Never heard another curse, thrown at me by this cruel world,
And yet I’ve never known that fate’s spurn, the world’s scorn, that sent you (to me),

I look up to see the sea of stars,
And it hasn’t changed, not even since all these wars began,
But now I kind of wish it had,
Because at least someone would have been kind enough to show me their path,

The world tells me – I picked my poison and it’s you,
And yet I never even knew what I was being thrown into,
I’m always the angel, I’m always the devil, why don’t you all decide and let me know?
So, at least, I can finally know what I’m fighting for!
