People like you

are the reason

I try to avoid humanity

I try not to make friends

because they always

retreat

into themselves

and I am strangled

in my own anxiety

it seems that

I can never hold on

to anything

it's terrifying to

free-fall

through my life

people keep grasping on

they pull me up,

only to drop me

from an even higher

distance

I can't wait to

hit

the

ground.
