Real Talk

Will the real Ben King Please stand up?

Hello My name is Ben, and if you really knew me you'd know that I love heights and that I'm 

ADDICTED 

to falling

and the only reason I get back up is so I can fall again

 

and so 

I fall

 

and

fall

and

 

 fall

It's weird to love something that hurts you

So this is for the people and things that have made me feel like I was falling

This is for my elementary school principal

This is for the VCR players

This is for the Red, White and Blue, also X, Y and Z

You made a Hell of a difference

This is for the second string bench warmers and for the benches

This is for the window you Dreamt out of

This is for every drop of blood

You made a Hell of a difference

This is for Amelia Earhart and Anis Mojgani

This is for the addicted and for the sober

This is for the fathers and the mothers, the Light and the Dark

You made a Hell of a difference 

This is for Cornelia and Celeste and Navy and Sam and Luna and Tom and all you other lost poets

Because I can't remember every time I fell but I can remember every time I hit the ground 

and it was all of you that helped me climb up again
