Heather Mcfall Poet Dramatic Verse

Up and Down My Never-Ending Road

with each passing day I walk a long way of sorrow 
knowing there is no other life to borrow 
seeing the world through the eyes of the unseen 
drifting past with a brightened beam 
I feel my own envy closing in 
this life of a depressed downward spin 
I'm crushed under the weight of it all 
will this be the last time of my undying fall
swaying like waves in the sea 
I wonder in my heart if this is the real me 
unraveling my ties 
pacing towards my own demise 
struggling for the light of day 
or is the darkness forever will I stay 
I see no end 
is my path an obscured trend 
I loathe the outside world 
it sits on an axis while being twirled 
all is worry but alas no hope 
I'm falling down my last steep slope
