I’m not scared to die, I’m scared to live
A jump to the unknown, is a step to the abyss
We get down each day, when Shit stays the same
depression creeps in but we take comfort in the mundane
A 9-5 living,
Is a soul and body imprisoned
I guess I’m just on a mission
To find a vision
So pray for me
And I’ll pray for you
I’ll take your hand through the smog
to a clearer view

- Comment from author about the poem: A brief insight into the mental struggles thousands of people go through in life with doing a job they hate or education. Not taking a path of a distant dream but finding security in what they have.\r\nToo afraid to make the jump. To afraid to stay on the ledge.

The mundane of life clogging out ways and expressed so clearly Jack - - an engaging read and one to which I relate.
Thank you for replying!
This was my first and very novice attempt at trying to write something people may be able to relate to. Thankyou for taking time to comment!
I guess it could make you depressed when things stay the same. But I also guess there are people who have such a bad hand in life that they too get depressed. I Can relate to the line a soul and body imprisoned but I sometimes think there are much harsher things that can make people feel like this. Even so I like the way you have ended this poem with the line'' I will take your hand''
We all hit that dark spot at times right on target. Thanks for sharing.
A fine opening piece sir! Great 'open heart therapy' this poem writing isn't it.
