like a bird he wasn't

The young man

An engineer by profession

He walked up to a highrise building

On Penang Island

There he flew

Like a bird he wasn't

He hit the ground with a hard thud

A life gone just like that

He was a young man of 24 years

The future was bright for him

He couldn't handle work related pressure

He chose the wrong turn to get off his life

There was a way out for him

He could change job and settle for an easy job

One he could handle and learn

There was a way but he didn't see

Maybe he felt ashamed

His inadequacy exposed

Now he had to wait and beg

On the world didn't welcome him yet

The gate to the next world

It is close for him for decades

Until the time for him to enter

The young man made a stupid decision
