We are so very fragile.
A moment can change our world.
A word
An emotion
Anger
Fear
Love
Or the lack thereof
One moment he was in his home. Nothing was the same. Nothing was right.
Sitting in his bedroom, he had no more tears left. He had cried the entire night.
In his world there was nothing left.
He didn’t remember how he got onto the bridge.
Cars screamed by him mere feet away.
The emptiness was complete.
Deep inside his heart there was no more.
No more love
No more hope
The concrete felt cool on his bare feet
His toes hung off the edge of the wall as he looked down at the ground below
A slight breeze kissed his face for a moment
Just long enough for a tear to fall
Just long enough to step off
Weightless
Emotionally and physically
Everything fell away
His fear
His sorrow
His pain
It felt like a moment passed
The bright light startled him and blinded him
He heard voices as his vision cleared
He was in an emergency room
Some say a person was successful in committing suicide
His success was not realized
Or was it?
The Journey of a thousand miles
