As I sit on the mountain edge,
staring into the horizon
I realise how small the world truly is.
Jumping off,
falling in slow motion.
People say your life should flash before your eyes,
but mine didn't.
I mean if you count pure blackness as my whole life then sure,
I guess you could say that.
For once I can feel my heartbeat,
the blood rush through my veins.
I feel alive,
free to fly.
Although this feeling will only last for a split second
as I stare my demise in the face.
I exist,
I'm here
even if nobody is by my side.
There is no fear left in my body,
no space for pain to fill my mind.
I'm relived,
the numbness flees from my bones.
My life is now gone.
But I'm glad.
For once I felt,
life.
