So Many Places to Fall

So Many Places to Fall

A Poem by Carrie Manor
"

Excerpt: "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.

Author's Note

Carrie Manor
The real first official song for Louis and the Leo s. In this song Louis is talking about how he thinks his destiny is to care for his little brother, yet he wish someone where there to take care of him.
I might edit this some, some parts seem a little confusing. I think the chorus needs to be changed.
