PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Hitting the ground

Breaking into a million

Tiny pieces.

Twisting, warping

Bending in ways that

Make it break.

Straining, pushing, 

Screaming into the dark

"Let me go!"

A mind can only

Take

So much.

A human can only

Bear

So much.

Reaching, grasping, 

Desperate for someone, 

Anyone, to help.

None do.

And the innocent fall.

Drowning, Choking, 

On their own

Despair.

Helpless, unable

To ever escape

On their own.

So wake up.

Reach out.

And help the person

Next to you.

What do you have to lose?
