sitting on a bridge thinking about jumping

by Antwan Fields - Aries

my belongings forgotten, my friends saying goodbye
watching the spark in my eyes sputter and die.
lost in the shuffle as i look into the black water
murkiness glaring me in the eye
i'm crying openly now, tears streaming down my face
as i feel myself suddenly begin to think
bout the good times we had, why throw those away
for a chance to end a horrible day 
im crying like a baby, no longer silent
thinking that i have become violent
since i eluded death it has tempeted me
but i stand here, thinking
the words locking into my brain
but the choice made, i look around and roam
leave the bridge, turn around and go home.

Reason for writing:

    suicide is out of my mind, believe it or not
i don't want to kill myself anymore...at all
