he tried his hardest
not to let
the situation
take it's grip
on everything
he ever felt,
below him were
the ones who knelt, and
sat below,
always looking up,
never minding
their souls that much,
for if they did,
they might have seen
the mess they made
was too extreme.
and so he took a deep breath of air,
relaxed,
and noticed
the signs were there,
they were written clearly
for all to see,
no more turning back,
no more of that for he,
had seen the darkest,
climbed the highest,
jumped the farthest,
and made his mark,
for all to know,
no more looking back,
just stare straight ahead,
and go...
