Take it one step at a time. "Whew" what a climb, this moment is reserved
for me to cross that line. I always though life was good, everything was just
fine. Until, they took my position, it was an unanimous decision. Lost my job
Now what do I do? Ah yes, go to the bar and have a drink or two. Drink, drink, drink until I couldn't even think, finding myself the next day throwing up in the sink. I tried to find the best in me but that night I had an affair with Stephaine. The wife saying "Honey what's that on your neck? Nothing come and see!" SMACK!
I got chased out of my house with a bat. I lost my job and this is how my family is going to react! Man, I never win. Really, I never do as I walk through the streets homeless and with holes in my shoes. Oh, I'm in debt. I got to pay the world back my dues. My little toes are hugging the edge as I plege to the world "I'm Jumping Off This Ledge!" 50 stories down 3 inches to go, as I TIP my head to see what's
down below. 2 inches more, I'm going to do it because what is the use of life if I can't pursue it? 1 inch to go DANG I shouldv'e slit my wrist, "Make Way Down There Because I'm Doing This!" My life is flashing in front of my eyes and now I miss my family and I'm sorry for all those lies. Speed is picking up I'm going to hit the ground soon, "God when I hit the concrete please life my soul up like a balloon! This is too soon I want to life and do everything right. I see the beam of light gleaming Ahh! Splat!" I was only dreaming.
