Plummet
(Fallen)

Drowning in complete misery,
Trapped within this vicious tragedy
Of bruises, cuts and scars -
Oblivion to peccadillo and ambiguity.

Insisting that everything is ordinary,
Sucking up what little oxygen is left.
Forcing myself to continue breathing
& just allowing everything to fade.

Laying my head on the metal rooftops
Of faded orange and brown -
I recall the day called yesterday
Of tears and pain - mixed altogether.

The sun doesn’t seem too bright,
Its light is faint and not yellow.
The ambiance of darkness takes over,
Choking the sun and killing it softly.

I just stared at the idiosyncratic scenery,
Letting it go on for hours and even years.
Unconscious of the shadow surrounding me,
Taking me by surprise and swallowed me whole.
