How Do You Catch Yourself?

You're deeply falling
But no one is there
To catch you, failing
to realize that no one
will be there, unaware
of what is going to happen

How do you catch yourself?
How do you save your smiles?
How do you stop and
prevent yourself from falling?
How do you answer these
questions that I keep on repeating?

You fell off the edge and
without realizing, it's now the end
You tried to hold on to something
hoping you might not really fall
hoping you're not falling
But someone pushed you
That someone is up above
And will not be down below
To catch you.

So, how do you catch yourself?
When you're falling for the
person who made you jump
When you're falling below
While looking at his eyes
from above, hearing him in a low
and deep and serious voice

"Go. Jump, then fall—
But I will stay deaf from your call.
Go ahead and continue to fall.
I will just be here, watching you
Do it all."

Tell me, how do you
catch yourself when you fall?
Do you bend over and pick up
the pieces of your shattered self?
Do you use your hands to catch
your fallen pieces instead?
Or do you do nothing at all?

Tell me—
How do you catch yourself?
