The Walk
Went for a walk
On a bright sunny day
Didnt know where to go
Just far far away
Just wanted to leave
The life that i had
Wanted to forget
How it was so bad
All the pain and struggle
Was too hard to face
I just couldn't keep up
With life's shitty pace
And there it was
Right in front of me
A beautiful bridge
Spanning the deep blue sea
And as I got closer
Painful thoughts were returning
"MY GOD, MAKE IT STOP!!!"
My head, it was burning
Then I just stopped
And fell to my knees
Staring through the night
And feeling the breeze
"Is it really worth it?"
I sat there and thought
Can I really leave
Everything that I got?
"Yes, you sure can"
I heard a voice say
"Step off the bridge
And do yourself away"
"Please, won't you stop!!!"
Another voice said
It would kill everyone
To know you were dead
"Don't listen to her"
The first voice hissed
"You know damn well,
You will never be missed"
"Stop telling him lies"
The second voice spit
"You have family and friends
You'll get through it"
"Come now lad"
The first voice snitched
"Head to the bridge.Â
And SCRAM, YOU LITTLE BITCH!!!"
As I sat there and thought
With a feeling of dread
There never was any voices
It was all in my head
I got to my feet
And breathed the night air
The wind felt so cold
As it blew through my hair
I looked toward the bridge
Then I looked toward home
It was then that i knew
I was truly alone
So I started my walk
Towards the big iron beast
My head finally clear
Not a thought in the least
But as I startedÂ
My climb towards the sky
A tear streamed down my face
I never said "Good-bye"
I got to the top
Then I looked down
I couldn't help but think
Of how I would drown
I lept off the ledge
And flew through the air
The water came fast
But i didn't care
Hit the water with a flop
But narry a sound
I started my journey
Down....
Down.......
Down.

Thank you James. Writing poetry helps.
Hey TONY!!..... this has so many different positive aspects as well as its obvious melancholy and despair....... but it is so well crafted ~ being inside the mind of a man's lonely and final walk to the gallows...... the fight in his mind is SO well etched and truly compelling....... For me, it was a glimpse inside the mind of desperation....... the place where depression becomes action!!...... Amazing piece of poetic verse.......PINNED!!......well done dear poet brother!!...... stay strong!!......LOVE & ROCKETS!!......T xo
Wow. Thank you Tony. And thanks for the pin. Like I said, I will continue to write as long as it helps me.
