Missing Something?

By ArcticWolf999

Everyone is trying to get to the basin of the cliff.

To be free..its safe there.

Some take small jumps. Othere take the leap all together.

I want to be free.. I want to be safe as well.

Still I refused to jump,...so I got pushed.

In that moment, out of pure instinct I did something that no other has done before. I looked down before I fell. Only the people who take the leap all together can witness the true salvation of this place, the only difference between top and bottom. For the only real freedom is when u jump all together and reach the bottom. Which almost happened to myself.

Out of pure instinct, as I began to fall, I reached my hand up and took hold of the ledge. I didnt want this form of freedom yet. But I did want it..something was just missing. I couldnt see through this. Not yet... Something was missing...

So I hang there from the cliff as I still do today. Pushed by a ill liberate fucking simpleton who didnt even have the balls to look of for themselves. None of them do. Thinking im already at the bottom. In stead they try to climb down. Day after day, Step after step, One by one they desend as I struggle to keep hold. I had to find what was missing before I freed my slef from this horrid situation.

I start to pull myself up and I see this person walking to the edge. Looking down at it. Knowing what few others now know. I start to slip. I didnt want to be free...not yet. Something was missing.

This person happend to look over and see. See something that that person didnt want happening to them. They could sympothise with the pain. I could sympothise with thier's. We both do not want to be where we are now. We want the tables revesed..or did we....?

I couldnt hang on much longer. I was going to fall. Salvation wasnt what I wanted yet...something was STILL missing!!! But I couldnt hold on.. I closed my eyes and started to fall..but..i didnt move. I couldn't feel any air rushing passed me. Was I dreaming?

I opened my eyes to see person there. On thier knees holding on to my hands. Person wasn't going to let me fall..Person didn't want me to fall.. I was the only one Person ever met that saw what Person saw.. The only person left still missing somthing.. I knew thier sorrows and Person understood mine. Together, thoughts entwined "YOUR THE SOMETHING!!!" "I can't let you fall, im missing you!" "I can't let you hold on to me or you'll fall too!"

Person starts to pull me up. Rocks slide a dirt flings, we almost fall together.. We finally found the missing in our life, we didnt want to be frew yet. So

Person sprouts an idea.

Person does not have the srength to pull me up from the cliff so instead person jumps down in leaps after measured leap so Person wouldn't sacome to its' salvation. Person jumps down so to cetch me when I fall.. But im fearfull, im not scared, im complete. I still just can't make the leap. I trusted befor and it got me pushed. What would happen now if I did again..?

But Persons not coaxing, Persons doesnt have an anoyed look, Persons not makeing me deside now and never a latter.... Persons looking up at me with a smile. Waiting for me. Person wants me to jump im ready..........
