Running away....

Tears running down my face.

Problems going through my head,

Trying to solve them the easiest way.



I'll look down from the ledge,

making memories pass by.

Good times never forgotten

that will end with a simple jump.

They'll shatter just like my bones

will as they hit the ground.



My eyes now sting, burn with overflowing tears.

I'll take a deep breath,

step forward, let it all go.

Time will seem to stop as I fly down.

Quickly it'll all happen,

with a thud my body will hit the snow-covered ground.



This way will be so much better,

make it easier for everyone.

No blood in the bathroom to cleanup,

No hanging body to take down,

Just an empty vessel on the ground.



I hope this makes them forget all about how I failed,

And that I never meant to hurt them.

This is my good-bye letter,

This I thought,

as everything they said was running through my head.

When I decided not to runaway but to die instead.

I scrolled all the way down until i saw "with Out you" of which I read and liked. It tells of pain and heartbreak, of which I can personally relate to. Then I read 1-22-03, once again I could relate. Pain, nothing to lose...or even gain for that matter. Treading in a well of sadness with arms tied down, impossible. But you have gift, and I think you should SHARE you gift with those of us (you, me, the like) whom need to here the experiences we all deal with. Continue to send you message out to the world....Because they are listening..GOD BLESS.
