high
i spent so much time trying
to be someone i'm not, i
couldnt understand my
meaning, my purpose
i thought i was alone and
i believed i was nothing,
my absolute low i call it.
but for every low there
is a high.
and after that high
you ride across a plane
until u fall off again,
realizing that, that plane was
a plateau and u reached the edge.
i'm gliding across that plateau
right now, waiting to reach the end.
and i'm not scared cause now
i understand
that for every high there is a low,
and even if that low is 6000 feet down, you're gonna fly
back up 6001.
making it up a little higher
each time u rise up.
so don't look down
look up cause up keeps going
but if u look down you will
get scared. cause it's so far down
u can't see the bottom
u see black. and believe that
it's endless.
when it ends even when u feel
yourself sinking lower and lower.
just close your eyes and imagine
the top. the sky. cause the
sky is endless, u can never
go to high, and we say
to ourself after a while
i can do better
i know i can reach higher.
then u need to tie more
balloons to yourself,
full of air not water.
so that u can reach that goal
of flying higher.
