Title: The Fall
Author: Anonymous
Date Submitted: 12/29/2007

 
Poem: Unrealistic hopes came before the fall
Falling into the serpents' pit
So tired and heartsick
Exhausted from it all
If the words escape me
And sleep deserts me
Take the road to Arden Hill
Submitted Feeling defective
No one wants me
Some would say,
“Get off the pity pot”
Few understand
The peaks of euphoria
The valleys of sadness

Get a grip I am told
Hard with emotions
Rising and falling quickly
Saying, doing things
Which hurt others and hurt me
Saying things not in my best interest

Through all my extravagance
Through all my excessiveness
Through all my fears
Through all my tears
Through all my tears
I’m doing the best I can...
