Parachute On the Ground

In skydiving, you jump out a plane from thousands of feet in the air 
Headed straight for the ground your only trust and savior is the parachute you’re wearing on your back 
Skydiving is the physical representation of being in love
Looking down from the plane as you float higher and higher away from the ground 
The plane represents our relationship 
Something we said we’d do for a long time but never had the courage too before 
Something we both hopped into with the trust and excitement of adventure running through our veins 
Something we knew together would take us higher 
And higher we went 
Flying off the love you and I share
It was time to jump 
Or it should of been 
We were partners 
Giving each other courage through our fears 
Having comfort knowing we were in this together 
Wishful thinking landing is safely in the ground 
That was the plan 
Somewhere on the way up I looked down 
Seeing how high up I was panic crept in 
Instead of trusting you with my worries I distracted myself from my fears 
I began to fail you
Excitement radiating from your pores you reassure my acceptance 
Multiple times to tell you 
Not wanting to ruin our adventure 
I keep it all inside 
We are finally here
It’s time to jump 
Lost in my distraction 
I’m not aware I’m pushing you away 
No parachute on your back 
I was supposed to be your safety 
You’re falling 
Watching you drop I notice both arms stretched out in front of me palms up 
Unintentionally 
I pushed you 
My actions pushed you out of our relationship 
Watching you fall made my heart scream 
Parachute on my back I jump 
I make my way back to you fast 
I can save us 
All you have to do is trust me and grab my hands 
You don’t 
You just look at me 
I see the pain in your eyes 
I see the weakness in my deceit 
 I will catch you baby 
Together we will fall safely like planned 
I know you don’t trust me 
I will grab you and pull the string 
Our parachute will sour and once again we’ll be floating

Ungrateful Vortex

don’t know if I was raised better because I was taught worse or was I taught better because I was raised worse 

Kept clean, fed and together and safe but the only thing taught was how to hide the pain and fake a smile. Spent my whole life building this wall. The only thing I was taught for survival is the gate to my downfall. Never dealt with anything so to feel everything is like our lungs breathing in pure oxygen. First deep breath I take everything becomes slow motion. Before I can even finish my inhale this force starts growing in my chest. I can feel my heart beating faster and faster. 3 seconds go by and I feel my lungs expand beyond their limits 
before I can release the pressure 
Before I can exhale 
My lungs explode 
I can’t breath 
My heart is still beating but I can’t breathe 
I feel everything 
My hearts going crazy 
Not use to this much purity all at once 
My mind told me to take small breaths at a time 
Can’t take it in all at once 
but when everything is connected when does the inhale end? 
What does my exhale elucidate?? 
When do I breathe again? 
My mind can’t focus it’s too much going on, 
My anxiety steps in with the answers to everything 
Take a deep breath and don’t deal with anything
