Fallen no more

Fallen off your own
no one to turn to but the shadow alongside you
no one to pick you up and dust you off

fallen off your own
no one to lay blame on
the entire room is empty with you and your thoughts that blame "YOU!"

fallen off your own
drives your ego into fury
makes your spirit sick and cries

fallen off your own
kissing dust and being swallowed
a shattered shaken miserable soul

Fallen!
doing bad all by yourself
dreaming problems just to feel better

making enemies of loved ones
breaking hearts and feelings to live on
feeling stronger in the belly of the beast

Swallowed!
wallowing in the company of despair
dressed in shards of broken emotion
no friend to identify the pieces

Alone! Fallen Alone!
tripped on your own ego
popped off your own head being swollen
gettin high on the air that you breath

a duplicate of yourself
you try to double the numbers
making everything negative your friend

rolling with renegades
feeding the sharks of fools
growing, getting colder everyday

Fallen!
in that quite moment
that small still voice whispers
"Get up"

Awaken!
shaking from the daze
can't live with your mind anymore
silence is too loud a call on your ear

the voices all scream at you
tugging you back
pulling you back
rushing your memory of the moments you've shared

how happy you seemed in blindness and misery
contemplating the mix of things
tryin to split with things

Risen!
no longer on the ground
now happy with no frown
only shining with that crown of laughter

Thinkings of back then are no more
Fallen! no more
Fallen no more!

I like that there is redemption in the end, many people who have fallen don't know that there is still hope. You captured the emotions involved well. Great piece.
