FREE

by Gemma, Capricorn - Not entered

Everything seems clear to me.
The night sky drowns out the screaming in my mind.
People gather below.
Hmm.
I wonder.
What would they say if they knew.
But they don't.

I know what I have to do.
The bright lights blind me.
The chatter and calls of distress echo.
Sigh.
I wish there was some other way.
But there isn't.
I know.
I've looked.

I can feel it already.
The wind in my hair and my body free.
I have to do it.
I must.
Okay.
Breathe in.
Exhale.

I close my eyes.
My foot extends over the ledge and my body follows.
Silence.

Reason for writing:

    It's basically just about some-one who thinks they have nothing and that no-one loves them.
This some-one thinks that they weren't meant for this world and that they would be happier somewhere else.
