Fall, the air is getting colder, <br />The leaves rustle on the ground... <br />The season is surging like a warrior to battle, <br />Charging in, to claim its months. <br /> <br />Falling... everything is falling... <br />The sky pouring rain... <br />The wind has a hollowing chill... <br />That freezes me to the bone... <br /> <br />I comb down my ruffled hair with my fingers, <br />My shivering skin pricks up with the breeze, <br />I keep walking on the hard cement, <br />And catch myself about to fall, <br />Still looking down. <br />I avoid the glances of those around... <br /> <br />Everything is going good, <br />Not just on this cloudy day, <br />But life in general seems to be on the bright side... <br />But I brace for it everyday... <br /> <br />The fall... <br />Please don't fall... <br />That's what I tell myself... <br />Please not today just don't fall down... <br /> <br />But it's coming soon... <br />So soon I know... <br />These good times don't last... <br />Because they never do... <br /> <br />And when it falls... <br />I'll just sit there and cry...<br /><br />Peter Vector<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/please-don-t-fall-down/
