getting too

how do you stop
the downward pull
if you don't know how to fly?

i've been told you just let go
you'll float, soar.

but when i do,
i sink
i try
clawing my way up.
but i'm constantly flailing.

there's never anything to grasp

i'm getting too old.
i'm getting too tired.
i'm getting too
getting too
too.
