Not So Fatal Fall

[T.J. Barber]

I seen something online that sparked an interest and I felt the need to write this piece. I myself have never entertained the thought of but I felt like this was the best descrition I could give...

"The Not So Fall"

Wind whips around my ears.
I shiver as it nips my tears.
Stinging against me soured face.
As I look down at my resting place.

One time it would take to end my life.
To put an end to pain and strife.
No more hurt nor harsh dispair.
The ground below sends back a stare.

Should I be worried?
Should I be scared.
I ask myself as I pull back my hair.

This is it I scream...the jump.
On the ground I land with a fatal thump.
I open my eyes to see their faces.
People gathered round from different places.

Is he dead? I heard them ask.
He's still breathing they scream, as I gasp.
Finally pain ripps through my veins.
I scream out loud and curse his name.

Is there no release from this living hell?
Sirens ring like giant bells.
Still no release although I fell.
I thought that this would end it all.
Yet I survived my not so fatal fall....

ooh...very good piece TJ...i really liked it...and right when you said "one time it would take to end my life" i knew that the suicide attempt wouldn't work...cuz sometimes it doesn't just take one time...i loved the rhythm in this piece...great job!

A failed attempt perhaps means that you are destined for greater things?

You write poetry with so much flow and ease, you don't seek and ask for words to come - the words just come to you.

It's beautifuly written and laced within it is sad and depressing message of disapointment and the hard depression of one facing suaside.
