All I remember is going for a walk

I was with my best friend who loves to talk

We were walking up the stairs

To go on the roof for some fresh air

We got to the top and I heard the door slam

The next thing I knew there was a gun in his hand

I started to back away and plead

But I soon realized he was too filled with greed

My foot hit the edge and I had nowhere to go

So I thought to myself “how far is the fall below?”

As quick as I could I jumped off the edge

To never give him the pleasure of pushing me off the ledge

I'm a freshman in high school and I wrote this for my ELA class and it's my favorite poem I've ever written.
