Black Poetry : escapes

[Just_Me]

I'm standing on the tip

of a 200 foot high cliff

I know I can just turn around

But I just cant stop myself from looking down

Lord knows I don't wanna fall so blindly

but I also don't wanna face what's behind me

I 'd rather risk disaster

than to face life's road

moving faster and faster

into a story untold

behind my back

I realize

the painful facts

of my life

At the edge in front of me

though I know it'll be the end of me

It's easier if I'll just do as I will

cause I don't have to move I can just stand still

I don't have to take what's real

I don't have to face how I feel

So I'll just stay at the tip of this cliff

although I know

that at any moment a wind might blow

and then I know I will surely fall

but I'd rather die than not live at all

This was so well written. I think we've all been here, not wanting to face what's behind us, not wanting to stand still, not wanting our life to end, but in comparison to the other two possibilities....But life always opens new possiblities, thank goodness.
