lying on the ground
limbs sprawled out
eyes wide open
i still remember the day
etched on my memory
in permanent ink
so vivid
like a searing tattoo
when i first fell
slipping off my ivory pedestal
i couldn't seem to recall
was it an accident
or did i jump?

i: when i first fell
lying on the ground
limbs sprawled out
eyes wide open
i still remember the day
etched on my memory
in permanent ink
so vivid
like a searing tattoo
when i first fell
slipping off my ivory pedestal
i couldn't seem to recall
was it an accident
or did i jump?
