Free-Falling

I am not suicidal

but up on this clifftop,

the wind heavy-breathing against my neck,

the foamy waves jeering,

I imagine how easy

a slip would be,

how I could find a few seconds of relief in

free-falling

and then

nothing.

I am not suicidal

but there are days when I do not

want to

be.

The hanging on.

It is so hard.
