Fall

Info

I take the step, into the great fall
With a fading light winking at the end

But to my fear, it kept inching away
As I pushed myself in its way

The fear, blankness of mind
As I kept falling deeper in this unending void

This chasm of never ending sadness
This compression of nothingness

Placed me at the door of deepest sorrows
Where I could see all my nightmares in those threads

Mingling themselves together
Trailing me, to swallow in whole

I close my eyes; I just look for the fading light
Still at the farthest distance, I am losing my will

My will to stay & fight
But all is just a haphazard sight

But in my staggering hope
I finally find the greater good

With its luminous face
Like a million fireflies bottled in a tiny space

This fall had torn my limbs inch by inch
But gave me the present of wings.
