Falling Poem by Justin Chan

Reaching out, I fall,
Grabbing,
Missing.
An uncontrolled tumble,
Into darkness,
Voids.

Stress, tension,
Gnaws at my sanity,
Accumulating,
Slowly, slowly,
Oozing poison,
Killing me.

Anger,
Burning black,
Taking over,
Killing my humanity,
Turning man into beast.

So much hate,
So much rage,
Kept dormant,
Controlled,
Now released,
Volcanic energy, attacking.

Dying,
I am dying,
Torn by obligations,
Stabbed by insecurity,
Smothered in problems,
Drowned in sorrow.
My life,
Made a living hell.
