at the bottom

One moment up

One moment down

 

Somewhere at the top of my arc

If I've waited long enough

It's hot, and I'm sweaty

And I've worked hard to get there

But there's that moment in the middle

When I know the shock is coming

And I'm getting prepped for it

I have to take a deep breath

And sometimes, just hang on to the clothes on my body

 

And then I'm at the bottom

Where everything is muffled

I can scream, curse, rant, rave

And no one would really know what I said

Down here it's kinda gritty and deep enough to make my ears hurt

But I can look up and see the light

I will kick back up there in a minute

But just for this blissful moment

Let me float in nothingness
