I want to go (pt. 1)

I want to go.
Can't talk me off this ledge.
 
I'm about to jump.
My heel's on the very edge.
 
Tons of people  
Clumped between barricades below.
 
Take one last breath.
I really hope they enjoyed the show.
 
Spread my arms out wide  
And make myself fall
 
Everyone gasps  
As they see me like a blur on the wall.
 
The cement rushes towards me
As I get closer to the end.
 
Suddenly, I'm blocked  
Almost faster than I can comprehend.
 
They put a trampoline  
To "help" me.  
 
"Fuck,"  
I mouth almost silently.  
 
I bounce a few times,  
Then come to a stop.
 
A needle sticks me
Sedatives overwhelm me and I drop.
