Slowly. Pulling away. Without a sound. Further. And. Further. Away.

Distancing. Farther Away.

The space gets wider. The distance, longer. 

Slowly. Separating from things that are unhealthy. Unkind. 

Widening the gap.

Falling.

Falling, Falling. Slowly. Down. Down. 

Reaching up, for a hand. Is no one around?

Falling. Down. Slowly. Is there no way up?

Slowly. Reaching up again.....finally found a hand....latching on. Grabbing hold. Not letting go. 

Pulling me up. Seeing the light. There now...standing on my own.
