Blurry

By Aurora_Light

Everything seems blurry.
Nothing wants to force in.
Life just keeps on spinning.
It doesn't care I'm getting dizzy.
I'm losing my grip.
I'm almost to the edge.
I scream for help but no one hears,
My words are swept into the blur.
Suddenly a hand appears just before I fall.
It doesn't hesitate to help me up,
It doesn't hesitate at all.
Then just before I secure my grip,
The hand just lets me go.
I start to slide towards the edge again.
As I fall a few hands reach out,
To try and pull me up.
But I fear being let go again,
So I continue to slide away.
But one set of hands doesn't give up.
They grab my wrists, full of scarps and cuts, and haul me up.
When at the top the hands don't let me go,
Instead they go around my waist,
And hold me tight and close.
But not so tight I can't get a grip.
A grip all my own.
