Jump,
No really,
Jump!
But if I jumped,
Right now, from this precipice,
Would anyone ever dare notice?

Fall.
That's all I want to do.
Fall right off the edge,
A thought I can't undo,
As I stand here at this ledge.

But vertigo surges through me,
It is a fight.
A struggle, as I think.
A war inside my head.
Will anyone even miss me,
If I land down there dead?

Death appears before me,
Smiling at me sadly.
Is this how you want to be remembered?
As someone who could be from adversity be delivered?

And so he began a conversation,
That changed my consternation.
His reason outwins the war this time,
Though fate can be changed with a single rhyme.
