the poetry within

Falling

Just an ordinary girl.
Nothing too special.
Like all other fighters
that survive in this jungle.

she tries to make it
without hypocrisy
but in the company of
openness and understanding.

Full of beliefs,
she goes – unaided,
not prepared at all
like all others – a human
Being....

Finding her passions
in things, in people,
in life.
But as quick as a blink
it can all go away.

Except for a big whole
where she keeps falling,
falling into an uncertain hope.
Hope of life being what’s been dreamt:
a fulfilled journey.
