Contemplate This : Chapters 1-6

Chapter 1: Contemplate this... End of life, Forever darkness, A place to hide, ( A middle aged man stands close to the edge. Enveloped in darkness he looks down, rain whips his face. In the blackness below, splinters of white, as waves crash) Chapter 2: Contemplate this... Accept...life is bad, Depressed, oppressed, Time line sad, ( He ponders, is this how it will always be? should it end here? , an exorcism of sadness) Chapter 3: Contemplate this ... Those who wronged, Synthetic weak, You... inherent strong, (But no, saved by a lucid moment, a thought takes hold , not to let the selfish confessions of another lead to a leap of lost faith) Chapter 4: Contemplate this.. Run away, Re-invent, A born again day, (He steps back, walks away , leaves all behind, and whilst others sleep oblivious, a new path beckons , to live , to love and to be loved) Chapter 5: Contemplate this... A giver of hope, Someone to hold, A reason to cope, ( He sees her, they share a glance, they share a few tentative words, they share the same desires) Chapter 6: Contemplate this... Dreams fall true, Entwined with an angel, Loved are you, ( He finds the purist of love, the hurt is no more, happiness floods his every moment.....he no longer stands close to the edge )
