Why?
No one knows
No one cares
Falling down
All the stairs.
The ones going up
The ones going down
Going ‘round and ‘round.
When will it stop?
Rushing, panting,
The room starts to slant.
What happened?
I don’t remember
Just what went down
But now I'm lying
On the ground.
No movement
In my limbs.
No sound
From my lips.
The room
It goes and starts to dim.
A ringing sound
In my ears.
Flowing, falling,
Salty tears.
To remember all those years
That went so fast
All those things
Of my past.
Flying, flying
Flying toward the bright blue sky.
Falling, falling
Falling fast
From getting high
In my past.
I once had A’s
But now have Fs
Nice little girl
Falls to the depths.
Goodbye little girl
Hello bad me
I wish I would’ve stopped
And tried to see
All the times
Flying past me.
But who would’ve thought
I actually cared
When falling down
All those stairs.
