2012
Finalist in the 'Far Out 2012' competition
I am falling,
Falling down, down, down,
Down through the layers of hatred and pain.
I am flying,
Flying high, high, high,
High on the ecstasy of dreaming.
I am crashing,
Crashing down, down down,
Down to the cold, unforgiving floor.
I am jumping,
Jumping high, high, high,
High enough to reach the hope above me.
I am dying,
Dying in a dark unforgiving world.
Dying where Dreaming, Hope and Flying are sin.
I am Dead.
