Falling Together

I am seeing life in sharp, magnified detail

The whys and hows in fully focused display

And it stings, dear soul, it stings,

I am falling together.

I am grieving a thousand losses for the first time

A pain like no other I have ever felt before,

And it hurts, dear soul, it hurts,

I am falling together.

I am learning my own dysfunctional patterns

Pausing in my tracks to lean into my deepest shame

And it is raw, dear soul, it is raw,

I am falling together.

I am accepting the erosion of my childhood dreams

Testing the limits of my resolve to remain stoic

And it is agony, dear soul, it is agony,

I am falling together.
