Falling
I am falling too fast from
the roof of a ninety story
sky scraper.
I am too tired to keep trying
to find my freedom in this
never-ending world of limitations
and broken dreams.
I've cut myself on angel hair
and lost myself inside hell fire,
shackled as my hope and love was
broken to bits.
Closing my green eyes and enjoying
the rushing air.
I want to keep falling forever
but the concrete is growing too
close to dream more.
My angels wings are bruised and
restrained now, I can no longer
fly back to the top and fall once
more.
I hit the concrete with a sick
crushing crack.
This is the true freedom.

The end of this piece is very true. Intersting, how life can be like an addiction that way--one may not want it, yet one may find it difficult to actually leave it.
Anyway, yeah, it beautifully demonstrates what you seem to be demonstrating, metaphorically. Hey, I've been somewhere similar too...Maybe I'm still there...but one thing...apparently people who commit suicide by jumping actually don't die by the collision with the ground. They die in the long fall itself. Of course, this is supposed to be more metaphorical, so, yes, it paints what you're talking about beautifully anyway.

Thank you.
Really? I've never attempted by jumping, so I was not aware of that fact. I may look into it now that I know it. I've attempted, still in a bad place mentally and still very emotionally sensitive and fragile, but I am proud to say that I am working on it and I have gotten far better. I hope the same will be for you if you, too, are in the same state as I am.
Thanks for the comment.
