Nice job...You hit the syllable target count, created a tight rhythm and made it rhyme.

I'm sure it took some thinking and editing to split the count the way you did...To me, it was worth the effort to get the lines roughly one size.

Good luck

This is a very powerful poem. The image reflects the words well!

I am wondering, however, if the "faller" is "hurtling into unawareness" or awareness. I ask because the last line indicates "understanding", which to me follows awareness. Would appreciate your thoughts on this.

Thank you,
RFL

I counted your syllables several times, and you got it right. :)
Your poem was really disturbing, but I mean that in a good way. Thank you for sharing, and best wishes to you.

Well done. This poem concisely answered the prompt, and conveyed the intention of the poet effectively. The choice of language and imagery was apt. The use of the graphic also worked well. Keep on writing!
