Fallen,

I made the fall,
Answered the call,
Climbed the walls,
Still i feel small,
Crawling forward,
Toward the unseen,
Inbetween thoughts,
Weaning from an onslaught,
Always being distraught,
Taught to endure,
My intentions remain pure,
Sure of who I am,
Scrambling steep slopes,
In hopes to reach the top,
Make the pain stop,
Propping myself back up,
Until my cup is full,
Pulling up the forgotten,
It has gotten out of hand,
Demanding more then I can stand,
Destroying such beautiful land,
I don't understand what to do,
And can't see the way through,
I've fallen just for you,
My view now askew,
Due to the fear in me.
Am I here to fight an enemy,
Or find right in every entity?
Lighting a way they all can see,
Or fighting my way into eternity,
Finally free to be me.
