Falling Poem by Jim Farr

Stand with me on this ledge
Crawling closer to the edge
Push me down
Watch me fall
To the bottom; end it all
These lessons we never learned
Those pages we still cant turn
Run and hide
But you wont find
Your life now justified
Or hopes and dreams still alive
These tears you cry
Insufficient alibis
Can’t you see it in my eyes
I never had anything to hide
But you were never on my side
My words no longer justify
The failures of your life
