falling

i just keep on falling
there's no way back up.
the bottom's so far,
but so is the top.
when will i land?
hit the bottom, bump, crash?
the sides are so narrow,
i keep getting smashed!
i'm bruised and i'm bleeding,
i'm hurt, i'm in pain,
maybe if i cried or talked
i'd see some gains!
but instead all i do,
is lie here and stare,
and wonder if healing
is really out there.
i want to go up,
find a foothold to climb,
but i'm broken and cracked,
and covered in slime.
the sides are too steep,
i've no training in this!
was it taught in one of
the classes i missed?
