Free Falling

Free falling - wish I could stop
Trying to find my way back to the top

Fearful of what awaits me down there
Gasping and gulping, need a breath of fresh air

Praying each day, singing songs of hope
But no rescue in sight, not even a rope

Lower I go, when will it end?
But I know somewhere below
is a blanket of friends

A blanket of friends is what we all need the most when we close ourselves up and refuse to land on the blanket.

Well expressed. Life can be this sometimes, as you describe! :)
