The Fall Of Everything I Once Knew Poem by Jessie Li here

This is me
Slowly falling
Into the depths of Everything
I fall while
You yell at me
Telling me what to do
That will make me fall faster
Telling me what I always do wrong
Since I can't seem to do anything right
Your yelling never stops
It echoes inside my head
Forever
Never quiet enough for me to Think
It never seems to end
The silenty spoken cruelty you inflict upon Me
The things you claim not to whisper when I leave the room
Create me imagined falling
I wish it was my imagination that I'm failing
I wish it my imagination that
Rarely cared about
Always ignored
I wish it was in my imagination
That I'm falling
