I get this urge to jump off a cliff.
Every time I see one I walk to the edge and chicken out.
I look at how far down it goes. It's like grand canyon but smaller.
I see the river and take a step forward. I see the sky and take a step back.
L'apple Du Vide
I take another step back as I think of my family and friends.
I turn around as I tell myself one day I'll be happy.
