Leap to Escape
L. B. Mek said:

leap to where?
\'Anywhere, but here!\'
are the words, of a short-sighted temporary mindset...
if this is a dedication to a fallen victim
then I offer you my sympathy, while
adding, you could have worded this in past tense
(eg. \'she leapt\')
but if this is a poetic expression of someone\'s feelings
of hopelessness and depression, then your tone is alarming
(in my humble opinion)..
pain is a certainty in life, and no one
can judge wat your pain limits \'should be\'! however
your writing glamourizes: imagery of \'ending life\'
as if its a one way escape?
How selfish, that artistic perspective is
so many have to pay, for someone\'s \'attempt\' at an ending
and what guarantee, does anyone have?
Tell me, honestly
with the will and fight it takes, to give-in
could you not, try and call-out for help
a few more times
admittedly this internet, has been warped
into a cesspool of everything inhumane
but aren\'t there still, so many tether\'s to hope it provides?
