Ledge

Ledge

Earlier today I sat on a ledge,

I thought of what would happen if I fell.

The faces of those that would find me,

The words that they would tell.

The possible reasons I wanted to fly,

All of the reasons I wanted to try.

All of the things that I could never be,

All of the things I would never see.

All of the things led me to think,

All of what I had worked for and did.

How quick it would disappeared in a blink,

How I'd finally feel freed.

I didn't want to jump, I really didn't,

I had all my reasons telling me to take a leap.

With only the mountains as my witness,

Not even having to energy to weep.

I stepped off and away from that ledge,

Taking another look at the edge.

There I had sat, planning to fly,

Becoming one with all the roads that go by.
