Slipping Poem by Alexandra Estes

Slipping



Hand grabs the edge
Trying not to fall
Such a perilous ledge
Too high, too tall

Voice cries out
Echo off the walls
A thunderous shout
No one hears the calls

Hanging by fingertips
One last desperate cry
Just about to slip
So close, almost time to die

Finally finds a voice
If only it wasn't too late
There is no other choice
Letting go; it was too long to wait
