She Takes A Leap

by Meena Krish   Oct 27, 2009


Frenzy fists pound against the door,

hoping

waiting for a reply

whilst she stands motionless
looking at the window.

Pleading voices beg for a chance
but her mind shuts off to reasons
her teary eyes becomes determined.

She climbs up the windowsill
looks at the lit street,

her hands shake uncontrollably.

Closing her eyes

a deep breath she inhales

her thumping heart eases its pace
and she smiles softly.

The door hastily breaks open,

into the night she takes a leap.

    It's so heart breaking when someone is so determined to take their own life, and refuse any help to pull them from that abyss. You have captured this so poignantly here. I unfortunately was there when someone commited suicide when I was in college. I will never forget that sad moment.

    This was full of suspense not only because of how this was written but the format of it as well. A very powerful poem full of emotion. I really enjoyed this, it was something different full of imagery and well worth the read. (: Well done!

    Meena, this is excellent. Suspense builds and your words create such a vivid image of that woman in the room, then jumping. Best I have read in a long while. Gets a nomination from me.
