I’m falling down, down, down,
Into the deep abyss of misery,
That engulfs our world.
Flailing and thrashing for something,
Anything to grab and save me,
From my awaiting fate.
But nothing is there to rescue me,
No one is there to help,
Me along the way.
I fell down the whole without warning,
I had wanted to explore it, not
Lose myself in it.
All little girls creep closer and closer,
Tiptoeing near the unknown,
Near our future.
Then out of nowhere we fall,
Like Alice in Wonderland,
Down the hole.
Suddenly we are getting older,
Becoming more mature,
And we can’t stop.
No matter how much I pray, how hard I try,
It won’t stop, won’t freeze, I am,
Slowly dying.

Your not dying! For mercy's sake, your feeling sorry for yourself.
