fear of falling

 

the fear of falling

of losing all

balance, logic, perspective;

 

space and time fly away

when you're lost.

 

Falling through the sky

where gravity is the only element

pushing you down towards the immovable object,

irresistable, unmovable, and unyielding.

 

When the world spins around you,

the one that you're falling for

is most likely the one that will crush you.

 

Brave you may be

to risk it all

in this jump, I pray the ride is worth the fall....

Still the fact remains

there is a reason that we have

a fear of falling.

I think we all feel that way sometimes! Falling is a scarey thing! Great poem!

[Jarrett]

Indeed.
"the fear of falling
of losing all
balance, logic, perspective;"

Yes I have a fear of falling; of losing my balance and perspective. I think most people do.
This writing is very easy to relate to.
Very nice work.

i know the feeling when we lose balance,its like our feet on shaky grounds and we have nothing to hold on to,its like the whole world around is spinning and feel so light,nothing to hold on to,and keep falling,for we feel nothing,we go down more and more until we touch nothing,its very uneasy feeling,nice writing

[Pink Poison]

This says it all so simply. How sadly true...I especially like these lines:

When the world spins around you,
the one that you're falling for
is most likely the one that will crush you.

Your last stanza is wonderful and sums up the poem beautifully. Very nice.
