The Fall of Clarity

As my knees are starting to shake, 
A thousand thoughts flying through my mind, 
Never again will I be awake, 
As I prepare to leave the world behind. 

Now my palms rub against my thighs, 
Every muscle in my body is stiff, 
I take one last look up to the sky, 
And I jump from the edge of the cliff. 

Plummeting towards the solid ground, 
No more troubles and nothing to fear, 
A sense of elation has been found, 
The weight is gone and the end is near. 

Now doors are open I had closed in my mind, 
To live like this, it would be so great, 
Now I don’t want to leave the world behind, 
But my epiphany came too late.
