the fall changed me
its hard to explain
I just didn’t feel
the same

I didn’t feel anything

wasn’t sure who I was
still don’t in a lot of ways
a cyborg on autopilot

running from it instead of dealing with it

lost my way
lost years
lost all

had the time of my life

bounced back
lost it again

a hangman’s ghost
in hopeful wander
chasing the feeling
of something real

now hopelessly lost
in the eye of the storm
birthed from broken bones

searching for a place to heal
