Who could say

Soft hair flowed in the air

High above the traffic but no one cared

Once bright eyes were dull and sleepless

Softly smiling ready for deaths sweet caress

But to give a life is no jest

Stepping off the ledge and away

Maybe, just maybe, today, who could say

Across town was

a head held down

With a sway in step

a feeling crept

Without the buzz dull eyes wept

The burn soothed the havoked mind

Or so the brain chimed

But who could say

To the west

Who would have guessed

A beautiful mind was not the best

The multi colored pills

Ate away at wills

But without those the feelings killed

Would the pills stay

Who could say

To the East

Pain tamed the beast

Concentration made eyebrows crease

The bandages wrapped both arms and legs

With judging eyes, put heads on pegs

With self disgust and crying veins

Puddled on red but when it comes to stopping

Who could say

But honestly they knew it's not ok
