Standing on the edge of a cliff,
Looking down,
Listening to the sound of the waves,
As it crashes against the rocks,
Looking down but not seeing,
Completely surrounded by darkness,
Even though it's six in the afternoon,
Wondering, contemplating should I jump???
The sun is about to set,
And it looks like a phoenix rising from the ashes,
The sky becomes a magnificent shade of red,
But I notice none of this,
I'm so trapped in my own misery,
The beauty that is right in front of me,
I totally ignore.
A couple holding hands passes so close to me that for a split second I become part of them
However they are so ignorant of my presence,
They see right through me,
As they walk away... lost in their own world.
My vision becomes blurred by the tears that are now pouring down my face,
I step closer to the cliff and a few loose gravel falls into the ocean,
But they are so small; they are swallowed by the roar of the sea,
They become lost and are soon forgotten,
Much like myself,
My mind is in inner turmoil,
Even though I'm standing on the edge of the cliff,
My mind, body and soul screams at me to don't do it,
However, my life is so messed up,
I see no way out,
Then without thinking of the consequences,
I close my eyes and jump...
PS feel free to leave comments would love to knw wat u tink about my poem.
