Before I Fall
Out of some depression I am crawling.
I wish I was able to set myself free;
Someone catch me - I think I'm falling.
Five minutes ago, on the floor I was sprawling
When the light of day blinded me.
Out of some depression I am crawling.
This feeling again! I find it appalling
How quickly one look causes insanity:
Someone help me - I think I'm falling.
On the wall my hand is scrawling
Words - lies - that you told me. Truthfully,
Out of this depression, I am crawling.
I wish I couldn't hear your voice calling,
That from the start you could let me be.
Someone stop me - I think I'm falling.
My heart and my mind are violently brawling,
Each one asking for a little liberty.
Out of some depression I am crawling -
Someone save me. I know I'm falling.
I wish I was able to set myself free;
Someone catch me - I think I'm falling.
Five minutes ago, on the floor I was sprawling
When the light of day blinded me.
Out of some depression I am crawling.
This feeling again! I find it appalling
How quickly one look causes insanity:
Someone help me - I think I'm falling.
On the wall my hand is scrawling
Words - lies - that you told me. Truthfully,
Out of this depression, I am crawling.
I wish I couldn't hear your voice calling,
That from the start you could let me be.
Someone stop me - I think I'm falling.
My heart and my mind are violently brawling,
Each one asking for a little liberty.
Out of some depression I am crawling -
Someone save me. I know I'm falling.

Okay, so this is actually a villanelle, but there's no option for that in the drop-down menu so it's been labeled a "free verse."I wrote this in first period yesterday. I like it, but then again, I love pretty much all villanelles. :]
