Falling Between the Cracks

Today's poem speaks for young people, who are sometimes very lost indeed and neglected in our society.

Falling Between the Cracks

Comes a darkness in the mind
And the world becomes so cold
Vision fades, becoming blind
And no more tales to be told

Seeking out the lonely place
Away from all, pain inside
Despair fracturing the face
And no where left to hide

No sanctuary, a darkened cave
Where cold the air, still the breath
The shadow falling of a grave
And siren call to time of death

Pray for all like one forgotten teen
Falling between the cracks unseen
