Count Down
I feel like I could fall
 My arms spread wide like the wings of a bird as it soars
 My legs a few inches apart.
 One.
  
 I feel tense.
 My back is to the scenery,
 My eyes are closed.
 Two.
  
 I should probably step away.
 I cannot…I have come this far.
 I am here alone…
 Three.
  
 I feel the eyes of nature upon my lightly clothes body.
 I know her beauty, feel it.
 I want to be with her…
 Four.
  
 I will do this for my own sake.
 I must do this!
 I fear myself now, but I must!
 Five!
  
 It’s time!
 In…
 Out…
 In…
 Out…
 In…
 I jump and let the last breath out.
