Life
My eyes are leaking because I’m allergic to life
The rivers of my eyes flowing immensely, one into another
For I am afraid of being blind to what lies ahead of me
There’s nothing worse than jumping out of an airplane with no parachute
Nothing to assure the preparedness and safety of your journey
On the way down thinking is “Am I gonna crash and burn?”
At this moment I don’t know up from down
Neither my heart nor my mind is calm
Too many thoughts and emotions rushing all around me
In a whirlwind of chaos
I need steady
I need stable
My feet on the ground
My head up proud
My mind clear and ready
To conquer this thing little thing call life
