Samson Cray- A Poem

The Fall

You may not even know until you hit the ground

That you had been falling this whole time

You felt nothing while you were in the air

And you loved it

After living your whole life stuck on the edge of the cliff

The open air seems inviting

So you take that first step into the unknown

Ignoring all the warnings you’d been told your whole life

How can it be dangerous?

There is nothing there

From the top of the cliff you can’t even see the ground

It’s just clouds

As you fall, your eyes are opened

There is more than just that cliff

So much more

And it is beautiful

And this feeling as you float down

Not worrying about anything but this moment

But now you’re no longer floating

You’re picking up speed

Falling faster and faster

You’re terrified

But there is nothing you can do

So you keep falling

Faster and faster

Until you hit the bottom

And wish the fall had killed you
