Falling


I’m running , 

I’m jumping , 

I’m spinning, 

I’m tripping, 

I’m falling apart, 

I almost fell off ,

I almost drown ,

I almost gave up on my life , 

I almost give walked away , 

I hear the the little girl in me ,

Begging me not to give up ,

Then I remembered why I’m doing all this , 

I remember how I got here , 

So now I’m back ,

Falling apart,

Falling out with any & everybody , 

Sleeping less ,

Eating less , 

Smoking less , 

Just not beat , 

Think everybody out to get me ,

Like everybody trynna set me up , 

Like Everybody wanna line me up , 

It’s like I’m trynna Dutch the bullshit ,

That shit just keeping following me , 

I can’t catch a break ,

I wish I can just take minute to fall back from everything, 

I wish I can make time go back just so I can have my father one last time , 

Falling ,
