The Fall

Just sitting there in her room her eyes were fixed on someone

Was she hallucinating?

She saw a pretty woman almost gone half crazy & sobbing

There in a corner which was dimly lit 

 With her hazy vision, She saw a silhouette covered in helpless cries

“Why this plight, look at me” she pleaded, while gazing towards that corner

Her words did not seem to create any stir

The corner seemed too distant, “Can I reach her?”

She sprung up from her chair & got restless

Tried hard to get to her, the shapeless silhouette took form

She could identify those sobs , the darkness & color of that emotion

The dullness which engulfs and consumes us

Alas. A mirror never lies.

She could see her, Herself.

Life hadn’t been as easy for her

Some wrong turns and it led to a cliff at the edge of a sea

Alone and not in a beloved company.

A convincing moment where its not a weakness to let go

But it’s the strength to not hold on

Just right there, she is here everyday, each moment.

She wasn’t as strong then but could she stop today

Stop herself from not falling, what was at stake?

Today there was nothing .

Incessantly she had been searching for herself

In a flash, she had completely lost herself

Untied now, Slipping away

It was a free fall, her final fall

PS- No reason can ever justify giving up your own life. It is a fall.
