The Decision

"As I lay awake

In the odd hours of the cold night,

On the couch of my huge house,

I think of how, like leeches,

The pain in my heart

And the confusion in my mind

Suck my happiness away.


As I walk up

Enjoying the sweet fragrance of jasmine by the staircase

I think how,

All the failed hard work I've done

to make everything better,

 went unnoticed.


As I stand like a king on the top of my home

Watching the stars above,

Listening to the Melody of sounds

Made by the creatures of night,

I think how,

Everyone hide the obvious fact of their loneliness,

With a smile which may disappear in a flicker.


As I jump,

And fall,

Towards the ground,

While the cold air hits my face,

I think of my life and realise

The insignificance of everyone else's.


And once as I hit the bottom,

Enjoying the blinding pain,

I think of how, for this decision of mine,

I will be judged as a coward.

As if being judged the whole life wasn't enough.


As I slowly let my final breath go.

Wondering at the irony of how,

The world is innocent yet devious,

And laughing at the sick society for one last time,

My soul leaves, content and happy,

For, it is finally at peace..."
