fall

I often sit and wonder
why we let ourselves become
prey to these
thoughts
why we fall deeper and deeper
and drown in the dark
why do we fail to see ourselves
in a light
when it is right there
yearning to be held again
but we do not hold
instead,
we shut it out
we look away
we cry
we latch onto the dark
and
we scream
and
we fall

- a girl falling deeper and deeper
into somewhere that is like
hell on earth
