Falling
House of cards
comes crashing down
no aces left in the sleeve
Falling slowly at first
falling for you
then picking up speed
free fall
hitting the ground hard
Going to pieces
What is there to loose
but illusions
It used to hurt much more
Am I getting callous?
No, I think I am healing
I still breathe
My heart still beats
I still feel
I still love
It's good
I am good without it

No, I think I am healing
I still breathe
My heart still beats
I still feel
I still love
It's good
I am good without it

Hi, Angelast1!
Remember me? I made myself a promise and forgot about it during some ups and downs nearly a year ago. But premium oil floats to the top and you have come into my view again.
"Falling" is a powerful metaphor that minces no words in its forthright thrust and wonderful denouement. The persona's resolve demonstrates how individuals should glean life lessons from adversity so that experience becomes a tool for living.

Hello Angelast, have been missing your presence from DUP. Have only just seen this. Was awol from DUP myself for much of Jan/Feb/Mar so missed this post of yours. The power of your pen speaks to me of someone who will find a way forward through what looks like a difficult patch. Wishing you well. Josh.
