Free Fall

My life's a blurry vision At the pressure point and I still can't make a decision Caught a glimpse of my reflection A good heart in jeopardy of detection I look up but there's no pictures on the wall I think I'm in free fall I'm depressed, over stressed in vital need of words spoken in jest but never the less i'm only a guest Got a dial tone but no one to call I'm drifting into free fall Minimum wage will not allow me to act my age Fending with rage but I can't turn the page I'm tired of fighting My palms drip lightning I'm not happy here and the future still isn't clear Have nightmares for no reason Give light scares during the blood shed season I get knocked down and crawl I'm trying to stand tall But I'm in free fall "paper weighs about the same as life in ink"

The landing is not much better! Catch yourself before you hit the ground! Take life in stride and your wits will abide! Nice job with your rhyme scheme!
