Fall (into it)

I must remind myself to remember this feeling
because right now i can't recall the last time i did
and I forgot just how low i can sink.
You're the only person i know
that can cut me down and make me doubt the most essential essence of me,
and for some reason i love you for it.
Sitting on a roof somehow makes me feel free,
although for all intents and purposes,
i am trapped alone with my intensive purposes.
Each leaf that floats past reminds me of myself lately,
hanging on as long as i can, one last burst of glory
colors that make the sunset sigh with envy.
but putting forth such effort to make this earth a bit more beautiful
must come at a price
and i know i only have so long until i fall off,
float on a breeze
and fade to brown
only to be crunched and crushed
by the first being happening by
without watching what they tread upon

nice
in my own opinion -
i believe if you tightened
this poem up a little bit
it would knock people on the floor
thank you for sharing
"Hear me, my chiefs!
I am tired; my heart is
sick and sad. From where
the sun stands I will fight
no more forever."
Chief Joseph - Nez Perce
how sometimes a lack of bad news
can make me feel happier
than i've felt for years
Even if everything I've worked for
since I made my last life-changing decision
is crumbling like sandstone,
at least you're still here.
After all, when the sandstone crumbles
I may have lost a mountain
but I've gained a beach
and while they're essentially opposites,
i can't complain as long as i've got either
