Life’s a test
Looking down
From the edge
Of despair
A man cries
Life’s a test
Or else
What’s the point
Of all the pain?
People below
One foot dangling
Over their heads
Conducting them
Gazes transfixed
Silence spreads
I’m a performer
Tight rope walking
Between buildings tall
I wonder
How many are hoping
To see me fall?
Silence prevails
Resigned to fate
A deep breath
He gets ready to jump
WAIT!
Frozen unsure
The ground below
The time
Between here
And there
Quickly?
Slow?
Falling
Thoughts arise
What will they be?
Hitting the ground
Will his soul be
Free?
Whatever you believe
Or fear
What’s last
Is a testament
That led you here
When time ceases
Thoughts
Are no more
Your last
Is the key
To eternity’s door
In an ambulance
Rescued by
Words
Entering his head
Can you repeat
What you said?
Nothing
Says a policeman
A seed sown
The voice
Was none other
Than his own?
Back from the brink
No longer
Distressed
Seeing differently
Still
Life’s a test
Paths lead to
Sorrow wars
Others
Peace
Which one’s yours?
