Freefall

Standing on the rooftop

Looking down

People all around me

Looking up

Toes curled over the edge

Between life and death

They people on the ground

Can’t understand

What is it like to fall

All the way from the top?

What is it like to jump

To finally give up hope?

Why do people scream

When they jump?

Is it because they are finally free

Or is it pure fear?

I want to know the answers

I want to know now

I’m going to jump now

So goodbye.
