Done for

This poem was inspiration from H20 Polo Girl.

As a man walked out of his work
He headed toward the dark valley
He gripped his windbreaker tighter and tighter
And continued to walk mildly

The wind blew and blew
He began gazing
Soon he saw something up ahead
And kept dazing

After a moment of silence, he continued walking
He tripped over something that was not gigantic
And fell forward and lost conscience
And when he woke he was paraplegic

He called for help
Louder and louder, he yelled
And soon he couldn't call anymore
His legs swelled

A minute later he heard sirens
He shouted a final shriek
The sirens came closer
And something peeked

But as they came closer
He lay corruptly
Without a word, without a sound
He was gone, sadly, silently

You're going into the depressing poems too? Honestly, we readers only need one depressing blog. (I wonder who's blog that is?)

Oh boy. I never, never thought you'd be the one who writes depressing poetry. But, having said that, at least you're good at it. Really good actually!
But, please just don't only write depressing poems; I don't think I could handle it....
A happy one one every once is awhile, please.
