When All Else Fails

The people fall,

they fall one by one,

and i watch saying,

" don't give up, don't give up,

this isn't happening,

they aren't doing this,

they are here,

they are real",

but they keep falling,

like raindrops from the darkening clouds above,

but there is nothing i can do,

and soon i stand with almost none,

and i scream

"I GIVE UP, I GIVE UP, THIS ISN'T HAPPENING,

it can not be",

i hold on to the other's arms,

and try to pull them up

but they slowly start to slip away,

and down,

down,

down,

they fall,

In the end,

i stand alone,

as the rain above stops,

I'm all alone and,

"I just want to give up"
