Plumet

where am i heading?
how far will i go?
it really feels like my universe
is spinning out of control.
while the rest of the world is embroiled
in a race to get to the top,
i cant help but feel im losing it
as the seconds tick by on the clock.
when every aspect of my life
seems to be falling apart,
at least i can take some solace
in this jovial work of art.
the antithesis to the 'goal' of society
a stark contrast to the social norm,
the aim of the game is to descend,
regardless of your form.
they'll tell you that those at the top
are the people with real balls.
but how brave do you have to be
to willingly free fall?
i know that success without effort
happens infrequently if not seldom,
yet who would've thought it'd be so hard
even to hit rock bottom.
i guess it goes to show that
no one is the exception to the rule in life.
if anyone wants to get anywhere
they won't be exempt from the strife.
but the real reason why im trying so hard
to get closer to the earth's core,
is because all i really want to do,
is to beat the top score.
