Walking on the ledge
My feet at the edge
Dare I look down?
Will I drown?

My eyes peer to the ground
My heart begins to pound
I don't like what I see
Is it to late to flee?

I take a deep breath
I run until I think of death
I collapse where I stand
This isn't going as I planned

I put my face in my palm
I wait until I am calm
This is an obstacle I desire
I use this need to inspire

I take a running start
Don't let doubt rule my heart
My feet stop making a sound
As I leap from the ground

Time seems to stall
There's a peace before a fall
This feels like an unreal dream
I'm so excited I want to scream

I meet the water and quickly sink
To many emotions to even think
I'm at peace as I open my eyes
It's so beautiful I feel my self paralyze

Dancing light from the sun
Colours bleeding and beginning to run
Some thing in me has bin set free
I am who I want to be

My mind begins to grasp
I go up to the surface and take a gasp
I am so happy I can't detain
It will only be easier if I do it again
