I saw,
I dreamt,
I drew,
I felt.
I learnt,
I knew,
I tried…
…and I fell.
The past, the present, the future.
I fell, and I fell deep,
with me,
The memories,
All the things I couldn’t keep.
They fell, they fell with me,
Misused,
Dragged deep below,
With their eyes closed, I couldn’t see.
We fell, we fell alone,
Ignored,
By the “other” world,
Drowning in all we weren’t shown.
The world shouted, but I couldn’t hear.
The shield,
Of arrogance is hard to pierce
Soon everything will disappear.
The voices.
Whispering,
Scolding,
Lecturing,
Nagging.
They always knew,
But were ignored.
Chattering,
Gossiping,
Spattering,
Bragging.
Their very intentions,
Were to prevent the fall.
But we fell,
We fell below,
We fell fast,
And we fell slow.
We fell small,
Though we fell big,
We fell with snippets,
Of memories unlived.
We didn’t know,
But we still did fall,
Confused, anticipating,
When we’d finally hit the floor.
Seeing all was lost,
Knowing not much was left.
Minutes, Seconds,
Before they start singing in my head.
Sneering at the chances I had but had denied,
They laugh:
It’s over, you’re finished, you’ve died.
We saw,
We dreamt,
We drew,
We felt.
We learnt,
We knew
I tried…
…And we fell.
