Time for a fall

By up_at_five

This pressure like a cloud hangs over my head
To ponder and feel the existence of dread
A decision was made and times running out
I feel I'll explode now, I just want to shout

Trying and trying without any success
How I long for the feeling of a warm soft caress
Broken down on the side of life's road I rest
Is this really happening or merely a jest

I traveled along on a huge ocean wave
Smiling and happy, was beginning to raive
Then it happened it hit like a thief in the night
Steeling all of my joy without even a fight

How can it happen so suddon and swift
To go from the clouds to deep ocean rift
Was there energy left did I not give my all
Should I never be happy for fear of the fall

Do i pick up and dust off to try once again
Or sit back and watch life go by from the fen
An ill mood plagues me with these troubled thoughts
Maybe time now to give up and curl up with the sots
