Dorm Room Poetry

She Fell

 She Fell 

She thought the beginning would be

louder, but it crept up behind her and hid

in her shadow. She fell

into the stars so softly

that no one knew to warn her

of the hard earth beneath her feet.

And just like the beginning,

when the end whispered it’s arrival,

she fell to the ground so quietly

that no one knew to call for help.

So, vision blurred, laying alone on her back,

she decided to stay, and fell

into her mind, blinking up

at the faint stars above.
