Snowfall

Behind the eight-ball,

Never up to par.

It seems that I will always,

Persistently fall.

With no one to help,

Certainly no one to aid.

Is it the brutality of life,

Or am I truly afraid?

I have no control,

I’ve lost it all,

All alone by myself,

With no friend to call.

Complexities vex my mind,

As I struggle through each day,

Lost without a map,

Trying to find my way.

Emotionally screaming hoping for someone to see,

How distraught and depressed my mind can be.

I’ve lost my soul forever,

Or maybe just for a while.

One thing it seems I’ve lost for good,

Is the ability to smile.

My heart has been abducted,

But it has never moved,

Perhaps this is why,

I am so confused.

Am I the only one who always feels like this?

It’s too much,

I can’t bare to withstand,

This constant mental crisis.

I suppose I will continue breathing,

Although it is never relieving.

My lungs have collapsed,

My heart begins to slow,

I will continue to freeze,

In this heavy blanket of snow.
