I'm Ready

Let's do this!

I'm ready.

I'm prepared

To jump off

This cliff. 

 

It's not the dive

I took

Into the

Pool's black mold.

 

Or the retreat

I made into my

Little box

Of peace and quiet.

 

Or the one I hoped

Would empty by veins

Until my mom's kitchen

became a mess.

 

Or the one where the

World moved a foot to the right

And I stepped

Into the abyss.

 

It's the leap

That lands me

In a warm embrace.

My first.

Hold that embrace as long as you can... and it will stay with you forever.

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

Nicely done, suicide and religion rolled into one. How time has softened those weak enough to let them. Fantastic imagery and well thought out, well done.

[Joe Lilac]

So well done... as usual.
