vampires walkin’ through the valley

“Why do we fall, Bruce, why do we fall?
So that we’ll learn to pick up ourselves…”

Alfred Pennyworth, trying to persuade master Wayne that even Batman is a man. And every man falls sometimes. Every single one...

Some fall in the ground. Some fall behind. Some fall from great heights, screaming their way down. Some fall big time, so they crash for good. Some fall over and over again, addicted to their own mistakes. Some fall just for fun. Some climb higher and higher but they feel like falling. Some are whistling the Free Fallin’ tune. Some fall down, they collapse… Some fall apart, searching hopelessly for an inner strength they never had in the first place. Some fall on others because, even in bad times, they cannot deal with reality. Some fall about, in order to exorcise their demons. Some fall among others, because they cannot bear the thought of being special. Some fall away, unable to compete with timeworn routine. Some fall back so as never to be forced to claim something. Some fall for money or power. Some fall flat on their faces, just because they aimed too high or because others want them to be the fall guys. Some just fall into line because they feel they deserve nothing more. Some fall out with each other. Some fall over themselves and still never manage to get it right. Some fall short – you know, shit happens. Some fall through and crash into a wall. Some fall back on a faded memory. Some just fall asleep before making up their minds.

And there are some who fall in love. Head over he..ll
