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.
