Falling
Bethany Yu

I am falling, falling, falling

 

Not into an abyss

 

Or into a dark like night

 

But into a blinding,

 

Coruscating light

 

Not being dragged down

 

Or being held captive

 

But instead, given a chance

 

To escape this cursed trance

 

I’ve never felt so free

 

Free from storms and snakes and sirens

 

Free from tears and lies and screams

 

This is no work of gravity

 

But the doing of life

 

My burdens have been lifted

 

My heart released of strife

 

We have finished the encore

 

Our goodbyes were hurled

 

Alone once more

 

Just me against the world

 

No more tales of sweet nothings

 

I thank the stars above

 

Because darling, let me tell you something

 

I am falling, falling, falling

 

Out of love

 

Author Bio: Ever since I was little, I have always found the art of creative writing really captivating because I love telling stories and creating pieces for people to enjoy. In my spare time, I like to brainstorm quotes or poems for my Tumblr blog, so that my followers can relate to my words. I find that one of life’s greatest joys is touching another’s life, even if it is in the most insignificant way.
