Do I? Poem by Jamie Fox

Do I?

Rating: 3.7


I'm standing at the edge of a cliff

and it feels like there's no way out.

Do I jump?

Do I take a swan dive?

Do I pretend I'm flying?

Do I stand there with my feet planted firmly on the ground?

So I will admire the beauty and say not today my friend not today.

Very beautiful poem I really liked the emotion and expression of reticence. Balance between despair and hope. I have been there too but I always hold out for my friend knowing we'll find our way through. Hold on and keep the faith always.
