Reality

If only I could reach a little further

Gazing for the grasp on reality 
With every swipe I make to take hold of 
The brim of this hole I tripped into weeks ago.
I get a little closer but end up falling twice,
Backward.
I find myself drifting further from reality. 
This seems to keep getting darker 
That circle of light getting slimmer,
And slimmer.
I will begin to give up 
And with that, 
I begin to wonder
Maybe I wouldn’t be here. 
In this mental pit I have found myself in, 
would this just be a murmur?

If only I could reach a little further.
