Falling

All people are equally good.. Sometimes we aren't good enough to keep up with them...

Holding on to strings,
hoping that something 

good will happen... 
thinking that you'll be 

my salvation, my saviour, 
the reason for my 

being alive, uptil now... 

Such delusions 
will tear me apart, 
don't you think? 
It's just a figment 

of my imagination 
(maybe you are too). 

That you are here, 
watching me 

get along with whatever 

difficulties I face ... 

instead, you, 
(and that's what I think) 
gave me a push, 
now I'm falling ...

into this abyss,

and there you are ...
laughing your heart out.

I believe there is always hope even the slightest glimmer. I also think we have a greater ability to determine our destiny than we think. Sure certain things are just what they are but for the most part we can turn the tables. Thoughtful writing Yumna. I enjoyed reading. R xo

I agree on that point.. But there are certain times when it seems the tables have turned 'on' us..read moreI agree on that point.. But there are certain times when it seems the tables have turned 'on' us..
Thank you for liking this one, Ray! Good to see you back finally ☺ though I'll be gone for awhile now 😂

Are you still falling in the same direction?

[Dr. YumnaKay]

No I think I have fallen already...

[Lovecraft]

Optimistic yet pessimistic. I like the spareness of the verses, good poem! Really like those last three lines too.

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Yes, that's like we are most of the times, right? Hanging on to hopes while really dreading what's coming..
Thank you for your thoughts here and for liking! Truly appreciate it ☺

[Lovecraft]

No problem. Those last three lines really do well as an end to this poem.

[Dr. YumnaKay]

That's so nice of you ☺

If only superman was there to help at the jumping point. Alas it turns out to be the joker. Life, who would have it.

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Interesting thought! I like your take on this one! Thank you! ☺

[Lorry]

We hope for the best, yet we fear the worst for a reason, because without hope only leaves us hopelessness. Even in the lowest pit of despair, we hope to find a way out.

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Yes.. I quite agree with you.. Thank you for the kind words ☺

[Lorry]

You're 'welcome :)

I think we often blame others for 'pushing' us in a particular direction but I imagine we have more control of our destinations than we give ourselves credit for. Still, there are some out there, who do their best to manipulate the roads we take in life and sometimes we are not lucid enough to see it. I really like where this piece takes me.

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Yes I agree.. Because in actual its our weakness that makes someone push in the wrong direction.. Thank you for the nice review Witty! I really appreciate it ☺
