Safety net

I built a safety net for myself
A few years ago
I built it over the course
Of a few months
Adding parts and putting it together
Making sure it will catch me
When I fall

And once that final nail
Had been screwed in
And everything was in place
I knew that now I could
Go on with life
Without worrying about crashing
Because I'd taken precautions
I was going to be okay
No matter what

And today, I looked back
To make sure that it was still there
But people had removed parts
Over the years
Dismantled my safety net
And in its place
All I could find was
A gaping hole
That would suck me in
Swallow me whole

And now I have nothing left
And I've start falling
