Twilight Suicide

The gentle breeze cooled my face
I closed my eyes to soak in
the feeling in the air, the feeling
of happiness waiting to burst
because I am about to kill myself.

On top of a tall building,
I looked down to see ants swarming around
unaware of my approaching death
I smiled, because they are unaware of theirs
I opened my jackets, to make sure
the bomb wrapped around me
is secured onto me.

This bomb is rigged to explode
upon impact, so when I jump off
and hit the pavement, it'll explode
there's enough to destroy stuff
in a 20 feet radius.

I smiled wickedly
I looked straight ahead to see the sunset
sinking down to the ground
the twilight zone approaching
I closed my eyes, leaned forward
the gentle breeze became harder
nearly choking me, but I feel free

as if all of my moods and emotions
are all blasting into one
my heart then weeps
why must we feel this way
when we fall off a tall structure
and only to have it end
when we reached the pavement

the rough winds ceased automatically
no pain is felt, which is unexpected
I opened my eyes, to look around
I burst out laughing, I landed on top
of a semi-truck, with a cargo on the back
with an opened top, and inside the cargo
is a stack of pillow

I survived, I checked the bomb around me
I laughed as I forgot to set it up
the truck stopped into an alley
and came out a rather beautiful woman
she smiled and told me something
"Your second chance, use it wisely"

"But I've failed"

"I know, give me the bomb and I'll destroy it
in the meanwhile, go out and enjoy life
while you still can, ask out the girl
that you've been liking for the past
month, I can sense her liking you back."

Oh definately love this. the poem is quite deep and meaningful for me. Life can push you to that direction of suicide at times.. but when something saves you.. it can be confusing.. i can definately relate to that so well, you have no idea. I like how strong your poem is. It has strength!! Lovely work. =)
