So Many Places to FallA Poem by Carrie ManorExcerpt: "I’m just a shroud torn in the rain holding onto the branches, and soaked right through.I’m just a child inside a man."So many places for me to fall. You think you can catch them as they come hear their voices as they fly away and watch them soar over the rising sun. But I am here and I stand and I can’t help but to just want to breathe Life is a beautiful thing and I know my destiny, I am somebody yeah, I am somebody. So many places for me to fall. You think you can catch them as they come hear their voices as they fly away and watch them soar over the rising sun. They would just rather make love I don’t think they’re wrong I want to do the same as they come, but I always want to turn away. Everyone who passes by. I’m faced by many doors. No one thought to look inside, they just glance by. I’m just a shroud torn in the rain holding onto the branches, and soaked right through. I’m just a child inside a man. But I’ll carry myself out of this hell, embrace the flames as they come. And remember where I’ve been, I’ll know who I am. Someday I’ll forgive them, when finally I forgive myself But I’m not scared, to look at my scars, and my brother’s eyes to wipe them clean. I’m not scared. I’ll carry him, back on my shoulders, I’ll carry him home. I’ll have done enough. I keep having the same dream. I’m holding onto my brother, until sleep covers his eyes. I know I have to throw myself in hell to push him into the stars So many said, too many have fallen. But the truth, I say, yeah, I’ve made many messes But, don’t be afraid to walk alongside me I know my destiny take my hand and we’ll walk into the setting sun. So many places for me to fall. You think you can catch them as they come hear their voices as they fly away and watch them soar over the rising sun. They would just rather make love I don’t think they’re wrong I want to do the same as they come, but I always want to turn away. So many places for me to fall. © 2013 Carrie ManorAuthor's Note
