Falling Into My Death - Ayad Gharbawi

Falling Into My Death

Ayad Gharbawi

Tell me, in your eye

My own letters

That, yes

Are so wrong;

I know.

For, they were

Written only when I was

So inflated

By my manic intoxicated mind.

I tell you

This is:

My being!

The same Being that has

So gone astray;

Flying apart from

My unknowing Self

And I go on

Falling

Frighteningly so

For remember

Just how much

I fear heights

As I continue

Plunging

Into an unknown

That I far prefer

To end my life

Than to ever see through its end

For, you must understand

That I much need to experience

The Quicker End

I called

Suicide

Rather than go through

The Long End

I called

My Life
