an inevitable fall
i look up into the perfect blue sky.
the world is so green, so beautiful
as if perfection is real.
my mom and dad walk
happily hand in hand.
little legs climb up the tree
as fast as they can,
but they never reach the top.
i slip and fall
towards the bottom.
my head hits the black pavement
and i cry
till i can’t see anymore.
my eyes slowly open.
i blink as fast as i can.
my mom and dad walk
as far away from each other
as i am from the top of the tree.
i hear shouting and yelling
my head pounds with pain.
i can’t understand why mom is crying.
dad drives away.
little legs run away as fast as they can
but they aren’t fast enough.
i look up into the stormy gray sky.
the world is so dull, so sad
and all is lost.
