Falling Poem by Monica Money

Superman.

Batman.

Spiderman.

Iron man.

They all are heroes.

Am I right?

But there is a truth hidden behind.

Heroes fall sometimes.

'Be a hero' They say.

Fly across the world

Just to save the day.

But yet again there is a truth hidden.

Even heroes fall.

Disaster strikes

In a matter of seconds.

Time seems to still.

As a person- -

Human

Seems to fall.

Instead of fighting

The human keeps falling.

Darkness is at the bottom.

Lightness is at the top.

Which road will they go?

Instead they fall

Fast, as I may add

But there seems to be one thing missing.

Another person

This person had already fallen

And went above the waters.

This person, however,

Wants to help the human.

But yet again the human keeps falling

Afraid to go above.

Afraid to let anyone in.

The human is a hero.

And the person needed that hero

But even heroes fall.

And heroes do not necessarily need to be heroes.

But instead

Be human too.

And go through a door,

That is wide open for them

And let pain consume them

Let the person take care of them this time

Because even heroes fall.

You don' t have to be a hero to fall

Because even humans- -

People today

Fall to.

Which road will you go on?

Light?

Dark?

Open?

Close?
