Saving the snake in the flames

A man saw a snake

Surrounded by flames

He tried to help it

Bitten and in pain

.

The man dropped the snake

Back into the fire

He looked around him

His courage to be admired

.

He found a metal bar

The snake wrapped around

He placed the bar down

Carefully to the ground

.

A passer by saw his act

Questioning why he helped

“The snake’s instinct is to bite”

“But I just had to help”

Ups and downs

I don’t understand

Why my emotions are so strong

Like being prodded with a stick

What is going on?

One moment I am up

I am ok with the day

I don’t need it to end

I do not feel afraid

But then there are the downs

And they really mess me up

Looking always for the escape

Cause I want it so much

I try to control my emotions

To get on top of them

But sometimes they’re stronger than me

It drives me round the bend

Why is it so hard?

To get along with life

We always just seem to cope

Trying not to subside

The roses wilting

The roses wilting

Over the side of the glass

Sensed they had given up

Could not forever last

My sickening feeling

Inside of me

Sadness seeping out

Wanting to be freed

They look so tired

As if it’s the end

Flowers to one side

No way to mend

As I gaze down

Studying the floor

A tear leaves my eye

I can’t do this anymore

Grabbing the stalks

Piercing my hand

Throwing with force

Don’t care where they land

As I collapse to the floor

Feeling sorry for myself

I have given up

I need to find help

Damaged

I know I’m damaged

I’ve been hurt so much

Years have escaped me

Wisdom not becoming

Mistakes settling in

Regrets ever more present

Tears no longer fall

My mouth forever shut

Love impossible again

A distant thought

An impossible dream

Forever escaping

Because we can ask why

Even if there is no response

Help…

I have never felt so alone

When surrounded by many

I have never felt so imprisoned

Even though I am free to go

I have never felt so hopeless

Even when I can choose

I have never felt so lost

Even though I know the way

.

My tears I cannot cry

My thoughts I cannot lie

My angst I cannot suppress

Even though I try

.

Trapped doing the same each day

The same old daily grind

Gaping hole inside of me

The bottom you won’t find.

.

I have never felt like escaping

As much as I do now

To end it all as a coward

The only way I know how

Embrace the fall

.

Pitter patter raindrops beating against the wall

Breeding your might, oh how you fall

Watching your trickling, enveloping in mass

Tearing away, eating up the crass

Darkness surrounding, impossible to see

Doom impending, futile to flee

Why would you run? try to get away

Pointless to hide, you may as well stay

Embrace the storm, head on, you must

Have faith in you, place your trust

Refuse, scream, with all your might!

You are the last, the dying light!

Lightning crashing, alluming the sky

Clouds turning, storming wild

Chasms opening, raging hole

Embrace the fall, the end, behold
