Life is so incredibly cruel.

It's bitter. It leaves me worn out and drained.
I reach and reach, and yet the further I swim up,
The more out of touch the surface is.

I find beneath me, the black abyss
growing more and more. Taking me by
the ankle and pulling me down.

I have no more fight.
I just want to stop feeling pain.

Atop this bridge, the wind feels like
sharp knives against my skin.
I cry out, and it silences me.
Not even the sounds of waves below,
can soothe this ache.

I want to live. I do.
I've been holding onto these steel bars.
Hoping deep down, that a bystander or
an officer will yell at me to come down.

Comfort me, help me.
But tonight, I'm all alone.
And that will always be the case.

Dead or alive.
And I believe, being dead is much easier
than living with that constant reminder.

I sigh out a shaky breath
and lift one leg over the bar.
I just want to be free from all of this.
I shakily raise my other leg.
Still holding onto the bar.

Apart of me feels selfish that I want to
leave behind my friends and mother.
Guilty even, but time after time,
it gets unbearable.

Nothing really matters after a while..

I love them, 
we'll have a chance to meet another time.
For now, I'll close my eyes and feel the wind

comb through my hair and
flow through my clothes.
Bringing me closer to the
black abyss, and for once

I take a breath.
