At Least I’ll Never Fall Again

12.14.2021

 

She thinks

I can’t remember

The last time I’d ever had a fall

 

I believe

I can’t remember

I can’t remember getting up at all

 

Still on the top of the bottom

Can’t see the ceiling from the floor

Living wall to wall

Can’t find my way to any doorway out

 

Still on the top of the bottom

Never got up from before

Never got up from the floor

Satisfied with being down and out

 

At least I’ll never fall again

 

She says

I can’t be a member

A member of this thing called life

If I spend it all

A fallen leaf

 

I flew

So high this summer

Never recovered from the season, fall

So I’ve spent it all

A fallen leaf

The cold wet ground

The only relief about

 

Still on the top of the bottom

Never got up from before

Never got up from the floor

Satisfied with being down and out

 

At least I’ll never fall again

 

Or so I thought

But she is always right

I have to stand up

Have to fight the fight

Have to stand up though I know my plight

 

I know I’m gonna fall again
