Need to Fly

Rough day.
I need to lose myself.
I need to fly.

Pain and sorrow.
Compounded.
One on top of another.

I dance with my tears.
They rise up so swiftly.
I choke the burn down.

I need to fly.
High.
Fast.

Tired.
So tired.
Of losing.

Embrace oblivion.
Where nothing exists.
But the next sweet rush.

I dance with the dark.
It stalks my shadow.
Waiting for my surrender.

I need to fly.
Deep.
Absolute.

Broken pieces.
Shatter even further.
Cut to my soul.

Old wounds broken open.
New ones laid bare.
Punishment for my foolishness.

I dance with the edge.
But cling fast to my fortress.
And embrace my sliver of peace.

I need to fly.
I need to fly.
I need to fly.
