i look down, seeing nothing but white.
my heart racing as i drop the ball.
the sirens in the distance as i fall,
suddenly feeling weightless.
i can’t help but feel completely free-
but suddenly;
that sharp painful feeling
hitting again
my brain doing that thing,
where the thoughts race and race
my head full of grace
as i wake up from this dream only to see
that perhaps..
i wasn’t as close to the bone as i wanted to be
