Fall

Fall

Fall is the season of light air coldness

And pumpkin spices 

Fall is also a happy time of year 

Considering all the holidays it brings after 

But not for him 

For him this is the time of year that he lost everything 

He lost his scholarship for his sport 

He lost his girlfriend 

He even lost his brother 

All because he was reckless and got drunk 

Behind the wheel of a car 

With the people he loves most in it

He doesn’t want to believe it’s his fault 

But he can’t stop thinking about why 

Why did he have that one more beer 

Why was he stupid enough to get behind that wheel 

And why did no one stop him 

Other than the pain of his loss

He also has the pain in his shoulder 

Because he got in that car accident he can’t swim 

So what does fall mean for him 

Fall is the worst season imaginable 

Because of something he could have controlled 

So why didn’t he stop 

Why did he drink in the first place 

Why 

His excuse for drinking was to have fun 

But deep down he knows he misses his dad 

So should he blame himself for losing everything 

Or should he blame his dad for leaving so early

Just to start another family 

So to him Fall is fall

The worst season of the year

The closing lines were solid and we pay for every sin and we get paid for every good deeds also. Karma is fair. Thank you dear Savannah for sharing the amazing poetry and the story.

You are welcome dear Savannah. I learn too late for my brothers. I should of listen more and led with concern. All of us need kindness, not lectures.
