I’ve never felt debilitated as i am now.
Confined in a collapsing building,
I have these bruises and I scream.
____
Expecting to breathe my last,
But death is out of sight.
___
So I stay on that spot,
Watching everything crash to the ground,
The building residue surrounds me,
And I can’t find a way out,
I put up a fight,
But these rocks, they push me down and I am covered with fright.
I’ve given up trying to find the light.
____
So I stand waiting for that one rock,
That will finally knock me to the ground,
And my strength fails that I am unable to rise again.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Full of wonderful emotion and this is highly relatable!
That's a wonderful✨! Your words vividly capture the experience of feeling trapped, physically and emotionally overwhelmed, and resigned to an inevitable collapse. There’s a heavy sense of isolation and futility throughout!
I’ve been here, and this poem, while very relatable, is also very well-written and full of emotion. Great work!
