The Coming Down
Jul 22, 2017 · 1 min read
I've never seen you fall apart
Always so calm and cool
You drift in and out unscathed
As I always play the fool
I've never seen you struggle with disappointment and pain
With this doubt I feel
About who I am
Thank God I forget
How much this hurts each time
It's easier to soar
When you can't see you're up high
But I feel the apprehension
About smiling again
I'm taking longer and longer
To get back up
Perhaps this is adulthood
Or my disease
Or it’s us timid few
That make you look so brave
I watch you soar
Higher than I've ever flown
Because you just don't fear
The coming down
