The urge to fall

I want to disappear into oblivion 
Into an abyss so deep, I forget my own name
I wish to fall so far, I no longer know how to speak
When I open my mouth, no words will echo
Not one thought 
Just darkness

Alison~ welcome to this site. I see greatness in you. Your willingness to be an open human being, portends that.. my favorite line,,,,I wish to fall so far, I no longer know how to speak. Very powerful and welcome to the human race! I get it! Our feeling are like the weatherm changeable! We are survivors and how we feel is not who you really are. Just a reflection of a moment in time.
