Free Fall

I am done screaming for help
Long time broken out of my shell
Only to face off with hell
I've got nothing more to sell
Nothing to lose
Nothing to prove
Man, it is so high up here
Fear of heights is the biggest one here
This mountain 
might not be high enough
Looking down, I'm thinking of
Is this going to be
A long kiss goodnight
I'm already over the edge
In a free fall flight down
The jump was quick and swift
Crack! went my bones on impact
Hitting the ground with a thud!
 Snap! was heard from my neck down
I was sure as dead
Did I succumbed of my wounds? 
I thought
Closed my eyes for effect
I awoke in the ICU on a respirator
Then came the trip
An old fellow past me with a drip
He told me that now son
If you wanna do something
Do it right
