Falling

I am falling
where the ground is
I do not know
all I know is
that every second
I am falling faster,
faster, faster.
I am next to a building
whose height is unknown
each story holds something new.
One holds a group of friends
I recognize them,
I wave as I fall faster,
faster, faster.
The end is unclear,
I can't see the bottom,
this one has a party in it,
they didn't notice me.
I think for a second
I can make a difference as I go faster,
faster, faster.
I write a note
to give to someone,
they read it, and walk away.
I shout out
heads turn, for a moment,
They return to their gamers as I fall faster,
faster, faster.
This story is interesting
a game board,
monopoly, I think,
They don't notice me at all.
Next, spotted!
They smile and watch me fall faster,
faster, faster.
A girl, I reach out,
she grabs my hand
falls with me a story or two
then jumps into another building
forever gone keeping me from going faster,
faster, faster.
I no longer watch the stories
as they quickly go by,
I just wait
till I hit the ground.
The bottom unknown
I fall off this building faster,
faster, faster.

I was required to write a poem for an english class and I had spouted off a poem very similar to this the day before i wrote this and i just felt like sharing.
