Won’t get me up there, can’t get me to try,

Looking down a ravine, from a mile up in the sky,

What’s heady for some, is nothing for another

A bit of bungee jumping, said my big brother.

 

With rubbers attached to my trembling feet

Whatever possessed me to take that leap,

I jumped into the future, at the blink of an eye

Like a flash of lightning, my life passed me by.

 

Now the thrill is over, hanging upside down in the air

I swallowed my pride and I did it for a dare,

Alone at the end of it , just getting my breath  

In future, I’ll leave it, to those who don’t fear death..
