"Throw it away,
Forget yesterday,
We'll make the great escape....."
The song plays in his head.
He leaps,
He jumps,
He flies.
Suddenly his life flashes before him;
The nights at the club, being drunk,
Did so much damage to others
No wonder he cracked.
He feels as though he is forever falling,
Although he knows it has to end soon.
He has made the choice and life will end,
Any second now.....
And then a flash of regret!
He reaches out, attempting to grab a rock,
But it is of no avail,
His hand slips and he continues to fall.
He thinks of his beautiful wife,
His son, His daughter,
Wishing he could try again,
He hits rock ground.
A moment of shreen pain,
And then....
He wakes up.
"What the heck was that?"
He thinks.
He jumps out of his bed,
and runs through the full length window.
By accident.
Goodbye again.

Oh my dearie me! This man has some issues. But I ask you this, oh wise one, how did he jump out of a window accidentally? Was he just like "Oh my, i'm freaked out! Let me jump carelessly out of a window to forget all my smaller troubles and introduce a whole new one! WHEEEE!"
Lol jk, jk.
