Over The Edge

My desire to raise my arms in protest

Of the cliff’s restrictions to how far I can go

Grows stronger every time I look at the view below

And see the dangerous beauty that awaits my

Suicidal dream to come true.

 

The power of those dark waves crashing against the rocks

Raises my senses to uncharted heights,

Giving my emotions a good reason to feel so low.

 

“A leap of faith”, the devil whispers in my ear,

While the angel on the other side of my soul

Looks at me with her best poker face and breaths a sigh.

 

That final step into a water abyss

Could finally be the funeral that I have always dreamed of

Since I first breathed following my rebirth,

But I will never know until I hold my last breath

And take the fall with grace…

 

So I close my eyes and put my best foot forward.

Every day is a leap in the dark, a test of faith, (if one is so inclined, as I am,) and to be on the side of the angles is the best place of all.

Well technically it is not about suicide never have I ever thought about doing that… but I am glad you enjoyed my words :)

I know you wouldn't, ever, you're not that type lol... the mind of a writer is large, there can be interpret and also written so much which isn't truth, or truth, but in another direction...and what makes us ponder, I did enjoyed... :)
