talk me down ;; phan

one

all dan felt was numb.
and he didn't know
where to turn.

he dropped out of university
last year and became severely depressed,

he could hardly eat,
he rarely hung
out with his friends,
and he was just too sad
to pick up the phone
when anyone would call.

weather it be his mom,
telemarketers,
his friends,
or other family.
he just felt to weak
to do anything anymore.

that's how dan
found him self today,
looking down at the streets below, shaking from his head
to his toes in fear.
dan took a deep breath and
almost took that step
when he heard a voice.

"dan! no!" he turned
around to see
his best friends,
walking towards him.

"come down!" they yelled.

dan shook his head.

"no! got this far,
I'm going to do it."
he yelled back.

"dan stop you're
being irrational this isn't
the answer." they cried out.

"i don't know what to do!"
dan screamed
into the crisp fall air.

"come down and we
will figure it out together."

they pulled dan down
from the ledge.

"dan we will always be here for you, you know that right?"

dan nodded,
but he knew
it wasn't
true.
