A Book of Little Poems ;)

Ladder

I'm falling underground

Deeper

Deeper

So far down

Where it's nothing but darkness

Me, myself, and I

I'm still falling underground

Deeper

Deeper

So far down

Where one can no longer hear me

Everything seems to be trapped in silence

My screams

My pain

My fear

My pleas for help

My cries for assistance

No one is here to save me

So I continue to fall underground

Deeper

Deeper

So far down

Where is the "someone"

When I needed them most?

I am now so far below

No ladder can reach me

And I'm still falling

Deeper

Deeper

You think there's no hope

So you leave me alone

And just watch me sink

Deeper

Deeper

Like it's a show

Don't you know

That makes me feel alone?

Fake-ass people

With a facade on their face

Worn like a mask

They try to "help"

By thinking they know it all

But they don't

No one understands me

Not anymore

They act like they care

It disgusts me

Because we all know

They don't

They are only

"Trying to be nice"

I don't need that type of "kindness"

All I want

Is for a "someone" to reach out

Lend a hand

Rescue me

Bring me to warmth

Instead of just watching me fall

Deeper

Deeper

Down the wall

Where no one hears my calls

You've given up

Because no ladder can reach me

If that is the case

Then build one

Make a ladder long enough

Gather the branches

Get the rope

Don't give up yet

There is still hope

It may take days

Weeks

Months

Even years

To finish the ladder

But it's better than just sitting there

Doing nothing

Watching me fall

Deeper

Deeper

Into darkness

When the ladder is complete

It may take days

Weeks

Months

Even years

For you to climb to me

But it's still better than

Watching me fall

Deeper

Deeper

To the very bottom

All I wanted was for that "someone" to build a ladder

To save me

Instead of just watching me fall

Deeper

Deeper

Further down

Until there is no turning back
