On top of the bridge

I walked out onto the railway bridge
It was quite a long way down
I wasn't scared; if truth be told
For I have always been this bold
"I am not afraid of heights" I said
"I have climbed upwards all my life"
From down in the darkest depths
I have looked up to see the sun
Though at times; I have found this life unfair...
I will not give in to terror now...
I will not let age slow me down...
Ever have I climbed upwards you see
That is the only way for me to "be"
It is the only way I can be free...
