One Step

The girl who swayed upon the roof

Looked at the ground before her

Was this to be her last day?

The power was all in a single step

One step and she'd be in free-fall

She'd land on the ground

And in one instant

Her pain-filled life would finally end

Was this what she wanted?

Or did some small voice inside her

Calling out with shame

Desire someone to stop her before she fell?

The girl who swayed upon the roof

Didn't stay around long enough to tell
