there's a cliff named 'overthinking'

and i'm standing on the edge.

I close my eyes and jump

and the down fall

seems to never end.

branches, rocks, birds,

anything but common sense. 

it all just starts to hit me

while I continue to descend.

the bottom is near 

and I'm going too fast.

my body hits the floor

and I see visions of my past.

overthinking is dangerous

and it ruins who you are,

so please don't jump-

I promise help is not too far.
