dragonqueen Posted January 2, 2005 Report Posted January 2, 2005 If you were falling, who would catch you? Have you ever asked yourself that question? Maybe you should. I didn't. At least, not until it was too late, And I was falling, harder and faster than I thought I ever could. My life was spinning out of control, Unraveling much too quickly. It was like some horrible nightmare I couldn't wake up from. Until I hit the bottom, and faced cold, hard reality. Like some sort of fallen angel, I guess. Only my fall from grace was a fall from sanity and any illusion of normalcy. A fall from everything I thought I had going for me, Everything I thought my future would be, Everything I thought my life was. I guess I thought I led a charmed life. It couldn't happen to me. I expected someone to be there to catch me. So, Who would catch you if you fell? Maybe you ought to ask yourself sometime.
Equester Posted January 2, 2005 Report Posted January 2, 2005 Fascinating...I especially liked the way in which the title led me to believe that I was going to read something about autumn, the first 6 lines led me to blieve it was about jumping and commiting suicide and it ended up being about life spinning out of control A great write, Equester.
reverie Posted January 2, 2005 Report Posted January 2, 2005 I like it, You poem make me think up another question to go along with it... "if you were falling, would you want to catch you???" Hey that could be a splitter poem... Stepping outside of yourself/situation is always fun... rev...
Ayshela Posted January 2, 2005 Report Posted January 2, 2005 and a tertiary question: if you were falling, could you trust anyone enough to let them know you were so that they *could* catch you? excellent piece. very thought provoking.
