Dangling feet

Dangling feet will they ever touch the floor?
Swinging  above the ground who has ever thought in the end they will fly?
Dangling fleet longing to hit the floor  
Swinging above the earth wishing they could to touch the ground so cold  
Dangling feet above the ground but far below the sky  
Swinging In mid air, praying for life
Dangling feet wishing to once again to walk the stairs
Swinging in mid air, they would kill to touch the ground even if it burnt the fire of hell
Dangling feet asking for mercy from the one above  
Hoping to be spared the fate that they're bound  
Dangling feet above the floor, they wish they had walked a different path  
Swinging in mid air, if they had a choice they would part from the one  above
Dangling feet above the ground looking for an escape
Swinging feet so high wishing to escape the pain
Asking questions on where did they go wrong  
Cause every they were sent they've gone
Dangling feet above the ground have rose up to a sky full of thorns
Swinging in mid air but deep inside they are torn  
Hanged from the ceiling by the neck, Dangling feet will they ever touch the floor?

Author's Note
I had a dream where I could see only the legs of a person swinging in mid air with a chair beside it.... So I asked myself would they ever touch the ground
