157/365 Where do you stand when the ground gives way...[Wakefield prompt]

why is it that everytime this dude is introduced into my life, he consumes a portion of it. Hmmmm, anywho. 

I don't usually stand...
It's more of a floating (coping) mechanism.
Something I developed,
never lean on anything fully.

I've roped my body to the wings of butterflies,
they couldn't hold me.

I clipped their wings to remind me
I can't trust them.

My mother used to store me on a treetop
as a baby.

The bow broke.
I fell,
kept the branch to remind me 
the things that promise to uplift you
will inevitably drop you further.

I don't plan on standing when the ground gives way.
I never trusted it with my weight anyway....
