The Edge
April 7, 2009
Standing on this ledge way up high,
Watching cars far below whiz by,
Feeling all alone in this endless night.
Lean forward, so slightly,
Dizzy vertigo fills my head and stomach with bubbles,
How easy it would be to end all my troubles,
And fall to the pavement like so many pieces of highway litter.
But instead I turn,
And walk away,
Live to die another day.

Wow, this is deep. Very good writing. My only suggestion is to replace your punctuation with enjambment. I think the poem would flow better; the commas and periods, to me, seem to interupt the smoothness of the narrator's actions.
Keep up the good work. I love this.
