Dead Child


Drowned under the abyss Fighting stuck and clueless Dancing on a wire Slipping Falling No net will catch The one up in the air Too Far from the ground I'll never be the same Once I fall from where I am From where I stand I have already distanced Myself so far from Where I was and Where they are I can't control the shaking as panic starts to sink in A missed step A dramatic pause A dead child hit the ground.
