She fell

• Artist: White Rabbit Mara
• Description: sometimes it feels like were walking this thin little line. ive been terrified to fall. but when you do, i learned that all you can do is live the way you did before and hope. that one day you can find your way back.

She walked along a balance
Along a skinny little beam
Praying to stay upright
Holding on to every dream

Her head was filled with clouds
And no shade could get in
There was nothing but sunlight
Just sky where she had been

She skipped along the sidewalk
Avoiding every crack
Singing some playground song
Caring about her mothers back

It seemed as though it'd never end
That she would never age
That the world wouldn't go cold
That no one would turn the page

She fell between the cracks
But she didnt lose her way
She follwed from below the earth
Cursing her fall each day

She was pushed over the edge
Pulled to perfection
And in the matter of sanity
The voices won the election

Those above looked down in scorn
Telling of her descent
Of how that age is so trying
Oh how she was once Heaven sent

And dispite all the precautions
All the structure and rules
She never grew up
She never became so cruel

Instead she made her own way
When she fell between the cracks
Now she can always see the sky
Where she's fallen on her back

it seems like when you're a child everyone laughs when you make mistakes but when you get older its all your fault. It doesn't seem fair that people try to chnage us when were so young and I find it hard to be like that girl even though when I am around most people I try to act like that but I hide the fact that I have fallen through the cracks because it seems like every time I reach out for a hand to get back up they pull it away from me and watch me fall once again into the cracks.
