Choices

These are two poems I had to write for school about choices. The first one is rather vague because it's kind of personal, but the second is just about finally getting someone out of my life a while back.

I jumped off a cliff at midnight,
At least, that's how it felt,
And I wasn't sure it would end all right-
That choice to ask for help.
What if they called me crazy
Or tried to send me away?
I wondered if I'd given up being free
In my attempt to feel okay,
But I see I made the right choice
Because now I'll get what I need.
I'm glad I was able to use my voice;
Now I have been freed.

A message appeared on my screen
After three months of silence,
But this time I understood how mean
He could be with verbal violence,
So this time I left him on read
Because I finally felt free
From all the things he said.
Though it hurt to lose a "friend,"
I knew it was best,
So a response, I did not send,
Instead putting his reign to rest.
I grew closer to someone I could trust,
Someone who never fails to make me smile
Because he is honest and just.
Now it's been a while
Since I let that "friend" go,
And I'm yet to feel bad
Because now I know
He only ever made me sad.
