Hope

I got out from my house, set course to the cliff, Today I will find out what's at the bottom of it. I tried to not think about it the whole night, So I won't hesitate when the time arrives. The sun has risen, I'm there at the border. I can see the abyss, it's just darkness. "Now, jump", I tell my self. But my mind says, "One more day." I stand there, contemplating the fall, It will probably hurt, but not for long. But I can't move, my body feels frozen. My mind says "No, wait!" "What about family? What about your friends? The pain you'll cause, the emptiness." I try to reason it out, tell my mind they'll all be fine, "But will they be happy? And what about your dreams? Why not try again, one last time, Try to accomplish just one task, Maybe after that, you can go ahead, Take the fall, discover the button of the cliff" So I stand there, battling against myself, My mind showing me a light at the end of the tunnel, Once again, I believe it might get better, I can do it if I just work harder. Hope comes again to me, Takes my feet to the house, far from the cliff. I'm high on hope, I've had my fix, Maybe this time I can make it.
