i'm just toying with the idea of suicide here.
i often wonder what drives people so far over the edge that they take their own life... so sad.



make the choice, make it quick.



It's the brink of death
The time to let go of regrets

Standing, staring, into the sky
Watching, waiting, for time to fly

The wandering mind, never stands still
It's like I'm diseased, sick and ill

The choice to live or die
The choice to speak truth or lie

The realization, that time is gone
No new beginning, no break of dawn

To take the leap, or take the fall
It was only ever you who knew it all

So as I make the jump tonight
Forget me not, love me still, but do not fight

Life ticks on, the world moves on,
They won't miss me.. nor will I when I'm gone.

I think there are so many factors which drive people to the edge, what do they think in those last moments? The thought is terrifying and tragic - A very good poem
