Suicide

I jump

But I will not lie and say I am not afraid

Ignoble, selfish reasons drive at the core

Its no speed bump

Its the end of the road

Its what I was looking for

Its the eternity code



At the edge, the wind caresses me over

I stare at the fissures, breaking closer

and in fear I take it all back

I scream that I did not mean to sacrifice everything I have

But The Voice does not hear, in the heat of the fire

And my choice was made, to burn to be higher

To give everything up for the answer

In my chains, nailed to the reality

I struggle because the adrenaline sears

now that it is happening

Its its too late to change my mind

And the human emotions will not prevent me from taking what I find

Its an immortal, inhuman will

It is not greed, it is the need to be still

to end the yellow brick road

to crack the eternity code

to be safe and totally alone

to break free of the mold

Wow! This is probably the most interesting poem i've read here so far. I can't say that it flowed as good as it could have, but you make up for TOTALLY with the images you evoke and the choice of words you use. I absolutetly love the last 4 lines of this poem! The whole thing was great, but those last 4 were very memerable. Thanks for posting this.. It definetely makes me turn away from suicide and you just did me a huge favor! Thank you!

P.S. If you ever need anyone to talk to, don't hesitate to contact me. - Greg
