the view from halfway down

The weak breeze whispers nothing
The water screams sublime
His feet shift, teeter-totter
Deep breath, stand back, it’s time

Toes untouch the overpass
Soon he’s water bound
Eyes locked shut but peek to see
The view from halfway down

A little wind, a summer sun
A river rich and regal
A flood of fond endorphins
Brings a calm that knows no equal

You’re flying now
You see things much more clear
Than from the ground

It’s all okay, or it would be
Were you not now halfway down

Thrash to break from gravity
What now could slow the drop
All I’d give for toes to touch
The safety back at top

But this is it, the deed is done
Silence drowns the sound

Before I leaped I should’ve seen
The view from halfway down

I really should’ve thought about
The view from halfway down

I wish I could’ve known about
The view from halfway down

What a way to end a masterpiece of a series. BoJack Horseman is already a classic. It was hard to watch the ending as it perfectly summarized the whole series: sometimes, life’s a bitch and then you keep living.

Had to hold back my tears and smoke a couple cigarettes to pull myself together after watching the ending. It was very stagnant but relatable. No grand gestures. No definite ending. Like us, their lives just goes on. It might not be better. It may have even been worst. But until you’re living and breathing, no matter how shitty the day gets, there will always be a tomorrow to live. Its up to you how you want it to be.
