she was suicidal,

i remember this girl in the 9th grade wanting to kill herself over a boy

a boy who she no longer speaks to today

i was in the guidance counsellor office,
and a few girls that i knew came in saying

"she was gonna jump"

"SHE WAS GONNA JUMP"

there was cliff close to my high school,
beside a plaza

it was very steep
and full of big rocks at the bottom

she knew what she was doing

don't jump,

she didn't jump

imagine wanting to kill yourself at 15 over a boy who hasn't even gone thru adolescences yet
