I stand here on the edge, 
my mind deciding what to do. 
My mind is racing, 
My body trembling. 
I stand on the precipice of life and death. 
One step to the left, 
I am gone. 
Forever. 
From peoples lives, 
And memories. 
The pain will be gone. 
However, 
One step to the right, 
I stay here. 
Drenched in my own pain and tears.
A burden to everyone who knows me. 
Feeling sorry, 
Hurt, used, and unable to go anywhere in life. 
Going to the left seems favorable, 
But it is permanent. 
Forever. 
It has long lasting effects, 
Beyond what the eye can see. 
 
just as a side note: i am not actually contemplating suicide. this is more of a metaphor for choices that we make in our lives.
