Fallen

I have fallen

From my once noble post

I have fallen

Out of the line

I was once destined to fulfill

The things I love

Have been stolen away from me

And replaced with things foreign to me

One has to be careful

When they walk this line that I do

They have to keep balance

On the edges of this expansive rift

Between then and now

The clear-cut walls of the status quo

Could easily slice the in-betweeners in two

I have fallen

From expectation

But I do not regret it

I let myself fall

Because I couldn’t hold on any longer

With my mind’s might

Or my creativity’s strength

Those things I once did

Seem so distant now

Seem so artificial now

Those things I once did

Seem so boring to me now

Even though I’ve fallen

I didn’t fall to pieces

I’ve only since become whole
