Last Words

What did the wind feel like-- Blowing against your back Riddled with whispers You heard or imagined or both? Was it cold, The ground? Did it scrape your knees on the way down? Or could you even notice through the noise? I want to know Was it hard to live in a world that wanted you dead? Is that why you couldn’t do it? Tell me, please I need to know Was it all too much for you in the end Or worse, Did it never feel like enough?
