just feel your heart fall

your hopes are raised

feelings

thoughts

bubbling up inside of you

as you eagerly await it

it's coming closer

you're almost there

to this thing

that you have been

waiting for

all this time

you can't wait

you've been waiting

all this time

and now

it's finally

here

and you just

can't wait

as you hurry

to get to it

hurry to get

 everything else

done

so you can check it

and see what happened

and see if all your hopes

and dreams

and wishes

came true

and you do

and your face

reveals your excitement

bright and happy

eyes alight

mouth curved

as if too scared

to give a smile

but too happy

to keep it straight

and you're there

but suddenly

all your hopes

and dreams

and wishes

come crashing

to the ground

falling

in a heap

as you see

that everything you hoped

and dreamed

and wished

hadn't come true

it hadn't come out

like you had excepted

and you just felt

your heart fall

down

down

down

down into the dark abyss

of insecurity

fear

worry

frustration

you just can't

understand

but it's too late--

you just felt your heart fall

sometimes

our hopes

our dreams

our wishes

are too high

for what we wanted

for what we thought

and it pains us

as we walk down

a quiet dark place

tears falling down our cheeks

splashing on the ground

i curl up in a ball

hugging my knees

wondering

"where did i go wrong?"

"what did i ever do

to deserve this?"

it doesn't seem

fair

that others

get called

wonderful

beautiful

amazing

perfect

and that me

and everyone else

is left

in the dust

if they had done

the same thing i had just done

they would have been

called

wonderful

beautiful

amazing

perfect

but me?

i'm forgotten

ignored

people don't care

they don't care

that my heart

just fell

just feel your heart fall

we think it's the end of the

world

what we don't

know

is that there

is a life

out there

made just for us

there is a life

out there

that no one else

except us

can live

there are lives

that we will touch

that no one else

will never touch

there are people

out there

that no one else

except us

change help change

that are things

out there

that no one else

except us

can do

there is

and adventure

waiting

for all of us

each of our adventures

are different

we will each meet

different characters

and all of them

will react differently

to us

then to the next person

there is something

wonderful

beautiful

amazing

perfect

out there

and you know

what that is?

it's me

it's you

it's everyone

everyone

is special

and wonderful

and beautiful

and amazing

and, if they're following Christ,

they will

be made

perfect

pErFeCt

PeRfEcT

perfect

and no one else

can ever

ever

ever

ever

take that way from us

not unless

we let them

so why

are you letting them?

so why

am i letting them?

i feel my heart fall

but that doesn't mean

that Someone greater

Someone better

Someone more amazing

Someone more wonderful

Someone more beautiful

Someone more perfect

The Perfect

won't reach down

and pick me back

up again
