Entry 109

I really like wolves.

Sinking

When I least expected it,

I lost my balance.

My world has gone spinning around me,

And I'm not even sure what's going on anymore.

As I fall,

I reach out with my hands,

Trying to find something,

Anything,

To grasp onto.

But there's nothing.

There's no one around to help me.

There's nothing around within my reach.

All I can do is brace myself for the fall,

Close my eyes and wait for the rush of pain

I know will come.

And when it hits,

I know I'll be slowed down.

For a few moments,

It'll seem like the world has stopped turning

And all there is,

Is the pain flowing through me.

But I know I'll be able to get up once again.

Someday, whatever day that is.

I'll be able to recover.

I know I will.
