The Devil in the Wind

Sometimes I fall, and it seems easier just to fall than to climb back up.
 Because when I fall, I feel free.
 I feel as though I can fly, but I can't.
 I simply fall so fast and hard that everything starts spinning, rushing, and there's no time to think,
 I get sucked into the storm and then spit out at the brink. 
And coming to my senses is often too late. I lose everything. 
Everything I worked so hard to gain, everything about myself, all my efforts in vain. 
And the pain of losing it all is not worth the high I obtained. 
Shame, guilt, anger and madness feed me till I'm full,
 As I self-reproach and surrender to the pull. 
As the storm calls me like the devil in the wind.
 A perpetual loop from beginning back to end.
