the footsteps grow louder,
my heartbeat steps further
my common sense fades duller
They're coming.
the stares are intense
my eyes drop lower
each one knows me
But who are they?
the staircase keeps on
with a space through the middle
it drops down, down, and down
But should I?
before I can change my mind
i hop over the rail.
i've been falling since.
Who am I now?
i haven't seen my face in months
not the one i knew.
i keep thinking i'll never land
for, personal demons locked me in the palms of their hands
and they're not done with me.
What about you?
