Tears? It's raining.\n\nAll my fears. Pursuit! They're gaining.\n\nClaw the sides. Climb the walls.\n\nScratch the surface. Start to fall.\n\nCrumbling. Dropping. Sinking down.\n\nBroken dreams. No solid ground.\n\nMy ladder built from shattered heart.\n\nCrawl and climb; must reach the top.\n\nAnd what remains as I depart?\n\nCan never look back. Never stop.\n\n  \n  \n\n"}
