Poem Title:
Poem
Two dimensions Two worlds The world above In which there is life In which there is love… And the world below. This other world is a mystery None dare go near In the fear of what they might see… Or what they may never see again. I’m curious, however I want to know what lies beneath the surface. I look into the mirroring surface And a small girl stares back She smiles There is a look of adventure upon her face I must meet this girl. I test the waters The temperature perfect I dive in without holding my breath My heart pounds I can hear loudly in this world The sound of it holds a sense of danger to it A hint of warning But I must meet this girl So I swim deeper and deeper. I’ve realized that there is nothing for me here I turn back towards the surface But I cannot move I kick my legs but still remain in the same place I struggle I scream But who would hear When in a place where all screams fade I begin to cry But my tears go unnoticed when surrounded by many others. My lungs are heavy They beg for air I know I will not find any here. My heart screams at me I am so sorry I should have listened to you. I reach out But there is no one on the other side to pull me back Defeated Surrounded by black Black that drags me deeper into this watery grave I look up towards the surface A surface I will never see again I see the one place I want to be Becoming farther and farther away from reach I’m falling Leaving the ones I dearly love I’m falling Falling from the world above.
