I'm new to this poem thing. I gave it a shot.
(I actually used this for a school project)
Questions? CnC?

The Leap
I look down in horror
as I get close to the edge.
My toes curl,
my toenails scrape the board.
I leap towards the light.
As I fall, I try to catch a butterfly.
I feel my emotions change,
about girls and about life.
I'm almost halfway,
through the dive,
I feel like I'm an adult,
although,
I'm not mature enough yet.
My back hurts.
My eye sight is going.
My body aches.
I see darkness,
then I reach the light.

I Have No Idea What I'm Doing With My Life Right Now

I get it. It's life.

Interesting...I think I liked it. It had an interesting rhythm to it, but I'm not sure what the butterfly line was all about.

HORRAY FOR THE RESIZE BUTTON THINGY!credit to Insomniac for the sig.

Hmm, I get this poem is about growing up then dying. You're falling all the way so basically showing how time flies by you.

As I fall, I try to catch a butterfly.

Methinks this means that you tried to "hold on to your childhood innocence(represented by a butterfly). But time(motion of falling down) prevents you from attaining that.

LOL, I'm over-analysing thisXD

I love this! It's beautiful! Because I am a nut, I agree with Insomniac's analysis of the butterfly line. Ah, life...

Woah...odd.
I left for a couple of days and there was positive feedback.

Insomniac explained the butterfly part perfectly.

Also yes, he is jumping off of a diving board, instead of heading up towards the light, he is going down, through life.

A pool of life is a good name for what he is jumping into.

Yes, I tend to sound like a nut when analysing abstract things. Haha.
