A Leap Into Oblivion

Let’s take a leap, not a leap of faith but a leap into oblivion, 

For I yearn to embrace it, get lost in it, and never rise again to the surface. 

It is there I will find solace, a sense of respite from everything. 

What is there to lose when we are all mortals and will eventually find our way to the elements? 

Isn’t that where we truly belong? 

O what is there to lose when our eyes will eventually dry up after all the crying?

My eyes have craved that warmth for far too long. 

The ropes that were tied long ago have only tightened themselves like a serpent coiled around my chest pressing harder with every passing breath.

But before I take the leap I want to feel the wind on my face. 

I wish to stretch my hands and take it all in. 

For one last second before leaving I want to live my life in indifference. I wish to be oblivious to the pain.

For one last second, I wish to live as a free man who has left all the reins to chance. 

I wish to stretch that one second long enough so that I can live all my dreams in it. 

I wish to feel what it’s like to let go.
