Flying To The Ground
I’ve always dreamt of flying
Being in the air with no pressure
Feeling the wind in my hair
The warmth of the sun on my bare skin
The feeling of nothingness and freeness
So when the feeling of falling feels like you’re flying high in the sky
When you are at your lowest but it feels like you’re flying at your highest
You just can’t bare the thought of landing
To touch the ground again
It feels so miserably good like love in hate
Happiness in sadness
Freeness in torture
It feels good .. until it doesn’t
Until your on the ground again
So you do whatever to keep falling
To keep flying a little longer
And if the silver mixes with the red helps with that feeling
The feeling of freeness
And if the thoughts disappear just for a moment
Would you take it?
Would you except it?
Would you let the colors touch from the beginning?
And let it keep touching?
Because I would
I did
But now I’m on the cold ground
I miss flying
Even when I know I am really falling
I miss it
The freeness in torture
So I keep dreaming of flying
