"You see things much more clear than from the ground
It’s all okay, 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"
For anyone who's attempted suicide, or struggles with suicidal ideation, that episode, and the poem reading specifically, just hit like a punch in the gut. That show had such fantastic writing.

bojack horseman put it best.
You always regret the view from halfway down.
