There she sat, on the patio . End of summer breeze hitting her beautiful red skin . Bare faced smoking a plastic tip , jazz black . Empty conscience from losing herself over the years trying to please everyone despite her traumatic past . Messy bun in her head . Standing over the railing thinking , "This is it." Ready to end it all . Looking for a sign to confirm her next move . Then there it was , a knock on the patio door . She turned her head and saw that handsome little face staring back at her , smiling with the widest grin . The innocence radiating through the glass door . Melting that numb feeling she felt throughout her body . It was enough for her to step away from the edge . Pulling back the glass door and stepping through the doorway she heard , "Mommy !" That's all she needed .
