Final Moments

I can hear the cars passing down below
The lights light up the street
I can feel the wind blowing on my face
I doubt anyone is looking for me
I am drowning in my own fear
I just want to be free
I am stuck in my body, waiting to be free
There are kids skipping on the pavement below
I’m so scared, I’m overflowed in my own fear
I can see every person, every dog, every cat walking on the street
Wondering what they would do if they saw me
Would they pity me if they saw the bruises on my face
Tears are flowing down my face
If I let go, I can finally be free
There is no one here to stop me
I again take a glance down below
I think of the eventual screams on the streets
I don’t want to be the reason for another’s fear
I have lived my whole life in fear
I still have scars on my face
I think of the blood splattering on the street
Why am I still hesitating when I’m so close to being free
If I let go, I’ll drop below
How long would it take for them to find me?
Would they feel guilty, when they see what they did to me?
Would they feel the same fear?
No can save me if I fall below
I think of how they would react to my dismantled face
One more step and I will be free
My heart beats faster than the cars on the street
It will be too late by the time, the ambulance comes rushing down the street
As I take my final breath, I think of their faces when they see me
I am finally free
For the first time, I feel no fear
A smile appears on my face
Even with the distant scream I feel content as my body falls down below
