to the sky, my friend, i will return

and I fell so hard

I broke all my dreams in half

lost my motivation in the fall

couldnt pull the string

to a parashoot I didn’t have

and I fell so long

I forgot the sky

chasing its reflection

into the depths

of an unmoving ocean

where I made my home

knowing water was not air

and still I watched the sky

warped and filtered through

waters not made for me

thinking I would never see it

as I did before I drowned

and I ran out of breath

I forgot I still had

                 and swam

                 and reached

and Im still reaching

even as I fall again
