I sit on a ledge, watching the sun set. Along with it leaves all the hopes and dreams I've ever known. The sky darkens as tiny lights fill up the sky. They say to reach for one and you will always be successful. I've never known the word successful, for all my dreams were destroyed, none coming even close to reality. I think about my past and my future, and all the days in the middle. None are any to be proud of. I think of all of my failures. I look over the edge and think how easy it would be to end this all. I see a bird flying by, a bird far behind the rest. Thats me I realized, I'm a follower, a nothing. I close my eyes and leap, spreading my arms....diving forward. Many memories flash through my head as I'm flying for those couple of seconds. I wonder why I'm putting myself through this. As I hit the surface I realize I should be living for the future, not the past. I get out of the pool and head straight for my towel. From now on I'll remember what I have before I do something I'll regret. ------------------ "I'm just a girl...standing in front of a boy...asking him to love her." - Notting Hill |

Sorry guys, I know it is terrible, but what do you expect, it was written on the spot and it is something I've been thinking about for quite a while and needed to get it off of my mind. black rain ------------------ "I'm just a girl...standing in front of a boy...asking him to love her." - Notting Hill |
