I'M Falling Poem by Kevin Lynch

I'm falling...
I'm falling...
Down into a black abyss,
With no end in sight,
A never-ending tunnel,
A never-ending blight.

Faster and faster,
I fall and fall,
No help can I get,
No help can I call.

Darker and darker,
Deeper I descend,
Nothing you can do,
Nothing you can mend.

Colder and colder,
It seems to get,
Never-ending sorrow,
Never-ending regret.


But I didn't falter,
I never sliped,
Over the edge you pushed me,
Over the edge I triped.

I hold out my hand,
In a desperate cry,
Hoping not to fall,
Hoping not to die.

But you're not there,
To grab onto me,
No one to hold onto,
No one to see.

Yet I fall down,
Because I loved,
Now I've been foolish,
Now I've been shoved.

So I'm
Tumbling downward,
Further from you,
Nothing I can think of,
Nothing I can do.

Until eventually,
Someone helps me out,
No one is coming,
No one is about.

But there's no help,
To been seen in my sight,
Thus my current sorrow,
Thus my current blight.

The tears start to flow,
There's so much pain,
I'll never be saved,
I'll never be the same.

But still I'm shouting,
I'm calling...
I'm calling...
But since you won't help me,
I'm falling...
I'm falling...
