SAVE OUR SOULS

I am forsaken by god,
Befriended by foes,
Where are my friends?
To tell them my woes.

Alone on a cliff,
The edge invites me 'jump',
Look down into the water,
My blood starts to pump.

Can I make the dive?
Like a bird can I fly?
The stillness, my voice,
My vision, I die.

With arms open wide,
The hour draws near,
Stepping off the lip,
I soar free, into fear.
