Losing My Grip by Rebecca October 12, 2007

I’m losing touch, at first it was alright.
Until I blink and it all goes down hill.
As the night falls.
It all goes down before my very eyes.
Losing my grip on everything I knew.
I wonder how fast I lose it all.
Waiting I close my eyes for the fall.
As the rock slips out from under my finger tips.
I feel the jagged edges slipping past me.
Is this all there is.
I hold my breath. But the fall never comes.
I open my eyes to find my self suspended in mid air.
Everything looked so clear from up here.
I looked down cringing as I saw the rocks ends.
Thankfully I never fell into them.
Knowing that was the end.
Spinning around I took a deep breath.
As my feet landed on solid ground.
I’ve found what I needed to find.
Now I’m fine, until I realize I can’t hold onto everything.
It’ll always be so hard, if you don’t let it go once in a while.
Breathe in deeply and let it all go.
Even if it’s only for a little while, just remember how close you once were.
To the end of the cliff, and remember everything that happened.
