The Jump

Here I stand hundreds of feet high
The whole world rushing by
Not a clue to as what I'm about to do
Not a single person cares
That wind pushes on me
As if it knew my destiny
Here it is... It's time
That leap is just few seconds away
My heart pounds so hard
My time has come to take this leap
I will not fight what must be done
I take a step... A slight jump
And I'm free at last
One... Two... Three... Four
I feel the incredible shock
As I plummet to earth
There is no sound at all
I can't even hear the wind
Finally I'm at peace
My heart is so calm
I know I made the right decision
I prepare myself to greet
For some reason I look at my feet
There about to meet
What is coming faster then I desire
I wish I could stay suspended where I am
The sudden stop... I land on my back
A sharp pain shoot through my body
My eyes close
I have reached my final destination
I can't stay here to long
There are many more to come
I can hear myself breathing
I take a deep breath
Stagger to my feet
I collect my guardian
Look around and smile
Today I get to walk away
