I can't Stand to Fall

 

I can’t stand it,

Why have I fallen?

 

I can’t take it,

Why must I give it all away?

 

I won’t hear it,

My own voice won’t stay…

 

I wish to turn back,

I have to move forward.

 

I’ve paved a road,

And never set foot on its path.

A few steps in,

   And I can do the math.

 

I won’t make it,

I’m too weak to take it,

So I just turn away

 

Voices tell me to continue,

But there’s nothing left for me to do.

 

Regret takes its hold,

But in one direction I head.

     A small, directionless circle.
