Float

I've been floating for a long time
floating very comfortably
without a single worry 
about hitting the ground

but since I'm floating
I can't move 
I can't go in any other direction
afraid of falling down into the dark trench
who knows what's down there
I can't see anything
it's so scary

I'm tired of floating
so I fall purposely 
regret I'm feeling
as I'm falling down 
I start to wonder
am I ever going to hit the ground?
who cares...
as long as I'm going in any direction
I'm not scared anymore
I'd rather be falling into darkness than float
and never going anywhere
