[hometext] => i just graduated from college and this is what i got, i havent written for years....just sat down and typed
[bodytext] => standing on the edge of a cliff, my heart beats uncontrollably, beads of sweat roll from my brow, glancing my fingertips, dropping down to the abyss below, through scorching sands, fruitful trees, deadly torrents staring at the glaring sun, blindness sets in, tremors through my bones, my skin tightens as the hairs stand up, my mind swirls in a barrage of thoughts thoughts of deceit, anger, depression, contempt, my body stays still as my mind runs a marathon. looking around me, no one is there, only rocks....rocks that have lasted the tests of time looking deep within i see .... nothing no passion, no determination, only guilt....hate not of another but of oneself blame for a life unfufilled, until now...... i look at the gaping abyss once again, inviting me to discard the thread of life..... i close my eyes....slowly....my body drifts... forwards and downwards, a gush of wind streams through my hair, opening my eyes i tremble with anticipation, the land grows nearer, faster and faster i fall until..... i recoil, the elastic rope holding me in place pulls me back from my dismay, i stared at the beggining and at the end, i stared deep within, fearless, renewed... nay!!....
