lost in vertigo
wavering and wafting
on top of a tower
high and lofty
dizzy spells and light-headed
wanting to fall asleep
but she continues to make her way
hope beginning to seep
as she barely reaches the pinnacle
she's pushed down by another
no different from
any other
doing to her
the same that she did
anyone who stood before her
she was willing to rid
she had a desperate desire
to push any one in her way
as long as she made it
all just to fall the next day
and now as she's falling
the feeling of vertigo
lost in her own thoughts
and she finally knows
reaching the floor
at the bottom of the tower
now knowing
that few have the power
the power to be
all that she dreamed
and the impossiblity
of all that it seemed
few reach the top
so why try again?
because even if she made it
it wouldn't matter in the end
her head filled
with the feelings of vertigo
lost in the air
beneath her long ago
and everything that mattered
is nothing but dead hope
she now lies with only
thoughts of vertigo
