Literature Text

You tell me to bend down
To help you
But as I reach down
They come
Stab me in the back
Throw me down
Down, down, down
Deeper than you
As I struggle to hold on
They come
They help you up
But as I reach out
To them
To you
You watch me
They watch me
Your stares so
Accusatory
You all kick at my hands
'Till I let go
And fall
Beyond sight
Beyond reach
Interpret this anyway you want, but the basic idea here is betrayal.

I like the simplicity of it and the structure of it works well here.

Deeper *than you
