RIGHT NOW
Right when you are about to jump;
Up & above from the tallest fare.
Right when you’re ready to let go;
One final time, one final scare.
Every atom of your being feels broken inside;
You refuse to even look at your shadows behind.
The image in the mirror laughs back at you;
A bouquet of scarred dreams that came true.
Gained all but lost again, that’s how you feel;
Or never even was yours to begin with.
So you pretend now to care no more;
And try to hide your fears evermore.
And every second that you take a breathe;
You feel trapped inside your own head.
The lies you lived no longer make you smile;
A road to walk alone stares back in sight.
And so you’re standing tonight, on this ledge;
Preparing to take that plunge ahead.
Ready to let go for once in life;
Or let the fears chase you down the height.
Just take a breathe & close your eyes;
Step back for once to clear the mind.
For as long as you breathe, you still have a chance;
A chance to try to right the wrongs.
THE SOUND OF MUSIC
The Sound of Music carried through the night,
Piercing the silence that cloaked the citylights.
Faint thrum of strings to create a symphony,
That pained the hearts of the sleepless many.
Reminded them of all those that fell,
In the war that at last concluded with the day.
Their luck burnt out before another breathe,
The melody reminded them of those who were.
It seemed to remind the living few,
Their loss & tears, we’re still to be stopped.
For they had just gained a day, but ages remained,
Before they could hear the last call of war.
And once more be united with the lost soldiers,
The painful melody in the silent night a reminder.
