Let Me Fall

I wonder how many people would truly grieve if I went to sleep tonight and never woke up again...
My moods have been mercurial, at best, the past few months. And as soon as I determine to see the so-called "silver lining," someone has to point out all the damned storm clouds. I can't be mad at them; they're concerned and they are trying to look out for my well-being. But I can only deal with one cloud at a time, and I'm just not mentally equipped to deal with Hurricane Ike all at once.


Let me fall
Let me climb
There's a moment when fear and dream must collide
Someone I am I waiting for courage
The one I want, the one I will become will catch me
So let me fall, if I must fall
I won't heed your warnings
I won't hear them.

Let me fall,
If I fall
though the Phoenix may or may not rise
I will dance so freely
Holding on to no one.
You can hold me only if you too will fall away
from all these useless fears and shame.

Oh, someone I am is waiting for courage
The one I want, the one I will become will catch me
So let me fall, if I must fall
I won't heed your warnings.
I won't hear.

Let me fall,
If I fall
There's no reason
To miss this one chance
This perfect moment.
Just let me fall.
