Sprawling Sadness

Sprawling Sadness

I’m rolling, falling in deep, deeper, & it’s
only getting steeper. It’s all moving by me
so fast. I reach to grab someone, or at
least something, but they’ve already gone
to the past. Someone help, please save
me. I’m positive the next moment will be
my last. I can’t help but to think these are
the final things I’ll see. Hope is falling
before me. I’m losing sight of what life
could be. I’m trying so hard to be brave.
I’d rather dig my own grave & lay in it. At
least I know I could climb out of it.
