she walked away

she couldn't take one more day,
home was more a prison now
independence called out
she had to get it

a fight was all she needed
to give her reason
she slammed the door with no goodbye
and moved out, it was time

now she's drivin too fast
she didn't care to glance behind
through her tears she laughed,
it's time to kiss the past goodbye

i'm finally on my own
don't try to tell me no
there's so much for me
just watch what i will be


she walked away,
couldn't say why she was leaving
she walked away,
she left all she had believed in


she sat on the roof,
on the top level of HDB flats.
she shivered in the evening breeze
she'd told her mom she wouldnt be home any time soon
if her mom knew where she was right now,
she laughed quietly

looking down below,
she asked herself what her reason for living was.
she found herself unable to respond to that
she asked herself what her reason for taking her life was
and realized that it was because her life no longer held meaning.

now or never,
she thought,closing her eyes and taking a deep breath

she'd always wanted to fly anyway,
but she guessed it'd just be falling with style

she felt the wind rushing against her,
felt like the air was pushing her back
she didn't dare to open her eyes as her body fell
because she didnt wanna see the ground rushing towards her,
she didn't wanna see the last time she'd fail,
fail to fly in this case.
and just in case,
she didn't wanna see the ground and realize she might have made a mistake.

okay so this isn't exactly a poem. but i thought it somehow fit into this catorgory
