A Poem About Falling Into A Trap...

hey y'all...

well, i'm back again. and i have a new poem for all of you. the theme of the poem is about falling into a trap and about the eventuality of all traps. its about personal insecurities and about how, once we get caught up in something we cant get out of, we understand where and how we went wrong and how we come to regret our decision, only to realise that we're too late to change anything. it is untitled. here it is:


I knew I wasn't invincible
But then I really didn't care
I thought that I was defensive
That I'd never fall into a snare.
But now this snare has snagged me
Its dragged me through the dirt
I'm hanging by my ankles,
And Man, does it hurt!
I should have paid more heed
To where my feet would step
And so now i hang, upside-down,
With noone here to help.
Before, when i was walking,
I had felt that i would die
The path i tread had hurt me so
Causing me to cry.
But now that I'm off the ground
That hurt cannot compare
To how I feel at the moment-
Hanging in despair.
And now as gravity's pulling down
A rush of blood to my head,
My muscles will soon atrophy;
My body feels like lead.
This is how I am
My situation worsens
Every second that i hang,
Death to me beckons.
Can i shut my eyes
And quietly realise
Of how my faults and lies
Dealt me this bad surprise?
But it really shouldn't surprise me
I was and am appaling.
I knew this is how it would be
And so now, I am falling.
I land right on my head
I hear a crunching crack
I gasp in sudden pain and shock
As everything goes black.
