The Ledge

Excitement—it’s what I have to feel, isn’t it?
I’m reaching the top, I’m close, but I can’t do it.
There’s something wrong with me. It stops me.

Can you help me? I am trying, trying to see why.
What’s wrong, I ask, but I get no answer, only
the feeling of incomplete.

I’m right there, it feels close, but why can’t I
go pass that point of no return? I’m stopped
dead on my tracks—I wait. Nothing. Why?

Push me.

Revolutionize my position on this life,
amend my mistakes through cleansing
of my soul and make this a reform
so I may stop deteriorating—am I yours?

Rescue me, I’ve changed—I’ve altered this
perception of life through the eyes of angels,
degenerated without self-preservation
so I may renew this condition—am I here?

Reconstructed this discernment, my ability to mediate
these decisions that rule my life: it’s been corrected
because mistakes need to be erased
so I may be reborn—am I salvation?

Remedy is my improvement, change is needed
to occur so I can be rebuilt from head to toe,
settled is my judgment upon this earth
so I may repair the ruins that lie here—am I allowed?

I like to see
the better side
of things, but here
alone with my thoughts
will rest, sleep.

The broken pieces lay here, spread
on the ground my bleeding heart, shattered
but if there’s a chance, I’ll take it
for you I’ll fight--

            but as you leave today the light,
the smile fades away again,
come back!

                                    Another chance, here
turn around and laugh, hear me
hear me say you need to stay
this time, the clock will stop

            frozen, its hands unmoved, untouched.

Constants and Variables

I met a man at a fork in the road,
he spoke my language but held no tongue,
upon my arrival he showed me the way,
whichever I chose he had nothing to say.

I saw my reflection in the river in between,
if I went left or right my future was to be seen,
but the man didn't speak, he held his words,
he observed me go left, then followed along.

He pointed to the right where I saw myself walking,
I opened my mouth but I couldn't start talking,
“That’s you in another possibility,”
“I’ll try to explain to the best of my ability.”

Then he told me about variables, change and the universe,
endless outcomes of choices and options that remained constant,
it wasn't until I started aging that it bothered my conscience.

The other me lived a life of loneliness and pain,
for he had taken his choices for granted,
I tried warning him and yelled to explain,
but he had his own memories implanted.

I saw the other me grow memorable and old,
he stopped at a fork in the road awaiting someone’s arrival,
this had been my moment of revival.

So the man explained that in one road I chose to become him,
the foolish decisions had brought upon my ruin,
while in another life I had chose my redemption,
and through this decision I had reached my salvation.

You open them, you close them,
you go through them, you come from them,
they lock, they unlock,
they show you the way, they close the way,
and on the clock, tick tock.

New opportunity, old chance,
a path to the past, a road to the future,
a way forward, a step backwards,
a new beginning, or an old acquaintance,
a chance to forget, but not to forgive.

So go ahead, reach out and open,
so the circle can be unbroken,
because if you’re leaving don’t look back,
these doors wait for no one, so good luck.

My name is Francisco, you can call me Zisco.

Endings are hard, but in reality, nothing ever ends, does it?

I'm not perfect, I'm just a human being. I make mistakes and I try to redeem myself. Life ain't easy, but I manage. I like to help people with their problems, but when they are too much for me to handle, I much rather not. I'm a great listener, but there are things I believe are better handled on your own.
