By The Pyramid I Fall Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGEHIJDKGLMNDGO PQRSD| Flat on my face | A |
| Bones still intact no cracks no scratches | B |
| My face flat on the ground lips kissing the rough sands at the bottom of the | C |
| pyramid | D |
| And then I come to knowing too well the steps I took | E |
| With my eyes wide open | F |
| Remembering each stride I made to get up there | G |
| Hearing each heavy breath I took | E |
| Pushing my body pulling my limbs | H |
| Tearing my skin clawing through the sand | I |
| Determined I had to in my dreams I had to | J |
| In my dream my mind saw the pinnacle of the pyramid | D |
| A beautiful pyramid well structured designed to project false realities | K |
| Enticing me to get up there | G |
| Maybe haunting me | L |
| Or maybe warning me not to go up at all | M |
| Yet I climbed the third time around the fourth a decade passed | N |
| Still I climbed the pyramid | D |
| I arrive I stand I see myself there I feel being there I am there | G |
| Each time I reach the pinnacle | O |
| All the same it s flat and then it s pointy sharp as a blade | P |
| And then I hit the ground turning around hands flat on the ground | Q |
| I could only see the bottom of the top from here | R |
| Each time I climb the cycle becomes | S |
| All the way up and then face down at the bottom of the pyramid | D |
