The Fall

The Fall 

 

Slowly, slowly down I slide to the pool I despise, 

I reach out to break my fall, 

Fighting the Demons that haunt me, 

Pushing, pushing willing me in, 

Lost souls wait for me within, 

I am not that strong, 

I am weak, I lost my grip, 

In I fall, frantic, cannot breathe, 

Struggling, grasping, seeking, 

Searching for a foothold to save me, 

Save me from the souls that lovingly caress me, 

Down and down into the deep I sink, 

Given up, down I go, out of reach, 

Another emotional suicide too weak to speak,  

Too proud to be deemed weak, 

Down and down I go, I sink, 

Peaceful and calm I drift, carried by the current, 

Caressed by others, 

Drowning, drowning free to go, 

Haunted no more, I think, I blink not been here before, 

Beating, beating in my chest it’s not my time to let go yet, 

Swimming hard and fast I break the surface and gasp, breathing deep, 

Demons pulling, I lash out, 

Grabbing, grabbing get me out, 

Screaming shouting all about, 

Ray of hope I reach out and grabbed the edge that I felt, I got out, 

Sitting and starring in, 

Contemplating my fate of where I had just been,  

Time to face the facts, 

Time to react, 

Time to talk, 

Sitting on the edge and starring in.
