Heart pumping
Blood rushing
Mind racing

The coast
The cliff
The edge
The rocks

The ocean
Down below
Far below

One step
Could send me
Down, down
Far below

The rush
I love
I crave

All could end
One mistake
Done for

I step back
Safe
Only to do it
Again

I wrote this poem for a friend for his poetry project. His theme was "People take risks to feel a rush."
