#1 Do or Die

31 7 5
                                    

A knock on the door,
She says my name.
I'm lying on the floor,
With that picture frame.

It's time to speak,
She has to know.
Agony at its peak,
I have to go.

Don't know what they're saying,
Don't know what they want.
All night I've been praying,
So they'd stop their taunts.

I step out into the balcony,
The wind's so cold.
But it doesn't affect me,
For numb are my toes.

Life's not that bad,
I say to myself.
Then why are you sad?
My heart repells.

I get up on the ledge,
Weak and wooden,
Just like my legs,
With blood, so sodden.

The time is right,
For me to fly.
A bird in flight,
It's do or die.
