Face your fears

Face your fears, 

they said.

And so I did, 

diving from the ledge

and never looking back.

A fear and a fantasy,

both irrational.

Both unstoppable.

Both inevitable.

Feeling nothing but air 

beneath my feet,

stinging my eyes.

People on the ground screaming.

Feeling strangely at peace.

Finding balance.

Succumbing to the great beyond.
