Everyone around me
Seems to be crashing.
The floor, caving in around me.
What am I supposed to do
If I'm the only one standing?

Help the others?
I might try.

Save myself?
May as well.

Let them fall?
That seems so easy.

Just give me a minute
To think of my choices
And their consequences.

Oops.
I thought for too long.
They already fell.
