The Ledge

by ·

11/30/2018
Find your way
To the closest ledge
Tiptoe right out
To the very edge

Take a look over
Your stomach may drop
But even that
Won’t make you stop

You’re here for a purpose
Even if unclear
What tragic events
Led you here

To this very stop
A decision to make
A life to save
Or a life to take

A decision only
I can make
And yes, I know
What’s at stake
