To the Edge
As I look down
the edge of the cliff
I consider my choice
Am I really ready to go?
To leave all of this behind
I am unsure now
My family will mourn
My friends will feel scorn
It will be awful for them
I cannot do this
not to them
I stepped back
But once I did my brain flouded
with thoughts
of how I see myself
with memories
of thing people have said
I can't do it I can't stay
I'm not sure when I lost my faith
but I know
that I've fallen from grace
I look down the ledge one last time
I say goodbye to the world
and myself
Tears stream down my face
and rain starts to fall
I take a deep breath in
and jump
But I do fall
but then I soar
free
