Falling Action

My words heard my cries
When no one was listening

The paper felt my tears
When the world gave no sympathy

The pen was my refuge
When the pain contained me

The chapters knew
That my life
Wasn't a story to write
Wasn't a happy ending

The plot knew
My heavy conflicts
A horrendous tragedy
Too dark to be known

Life wasn't a series of rhymes
Of sequences that correspond
To my sufferings
Not a book that ends,
But starts—
At its exposition
