Poems from Cassidy Paredes

FALLING

by

I’m falling
So slowly.
I can’t see
What’s below me.

Is it time
For my end?
Or will you catch me
Instead?

I doubt it.
Can’t hope for.
You’d never knock
On my door.

So, I’ll let it
Surround me
As this heaviness
Consumes me.

I let it
Pull me down.
No fight or flight.
Don’t make a sound.

Ded. The waves
