Emergency Waiting

You know it’s going to happen.
It’s going to pull you out from under.
It’s going to take everything you have gained.

This blow isn’t going to hit softly.
It will hit hard
With a force so unheard of
You won’t be able to stand.

You’ll hear the distance footsteps
As you slowly drift away.
Into a sea of oblivion
Where no one has laid.

You’ll scream for help.
No one will hear you.
It’s too late.
This emergency is no longer waiting.
