FALLING
Plunging down into the depths,
I

into an abyss of emptiness.
I lay there, unmoving;
every bone feels broken,
every breath shaken and rattling.
Despair grips my body
and doesn't let go,
seizing my mind and heart.
Black greets my eyes,
and I strain to find some sort of light.
Oh but wait -
I can see red.
Crimson. The color of blood.
I squeeze my eyes shut;
Who's blood?
my mind wondered.
I still my beating heart,
hoping to hear somebody-
anybody.
Silence answers me,
my heart and my head the only things I can hear.
I open my mouth to speak,
but no matter how much I try,
words can't form on my tongue.
I scream with no voice,
straining to be heard regardless;
no one replies or hears.
I try to find something to pound on,
any noise whatsoever,
and there is nothing.
Absolutely nothing.
Tears start to run down my face
as I realize no one can hear me,
no body will find me.
I'm stuck here like this
with no way out.
I'm lost.
