Analysis of Falling

Falling 2002 (California)



It is dark,
I cannot see,
I feel weightless
Almost free,
I feel the air underneath,
A sinking feeling
Suddenly hits me,
When I realize I cannot scream,
My mind starts racing,
I try to sleep,
I close my eyes.
And hope I stop,
I pray to god,
Before I drop
