Spiraling

I thought.

I believed.

I was confident.

Now, I’m falling down.

You told me I could fly.

You told me I could be free.

If I just trusted in me.

If I just trusted in you.

I jumped when you pushed.

My makeshift wings spread wide.

You told me if I flapped my arms.

If I just believed in us.

I thought could fly.

But I didn’t.

I’m falling.

And I don’t know why.

Did I believe?

Was my trust in you not enough?

I don’t know.

I don’t know.

All I know.

As I near the ground.

As I close my eyes.

I was wrong.
