the bridge
there was a boy once
who was suffering
from hatred by his friends
and self doubts by himself
'its kinda weird' he said
while he was thinking about
people killing themselves
by jumping of that monumental bridge
which was built for trains once
but on his everyday walk to school
he had to walk over
the bridge
and as the year moved on
and his grades got worse
and more people, even his family
left him
but he was brave and survived
the seasons passing
spring, summer, autumn and winter
but on his everyday walk to school
he thought about jumping off
the bridge
and then new years eve came
and the girl he loved
left him
proved, everybody was the same
the boy passed out and
lost hope
he suffered a lot
but survived spring
and then summer came
the boy thought he had recovered
then his father
the only person who had not left him
died
and he cried for an entire week
and by the end of it
he made a decision
on the prettiest and warmest day of the year
he took his school bag, although it was summer
went on the way to school
reached the bridge
and at its center
he dropped his bag
and a letter fell out
it was from the girl who had left him
it said she loved him
and always would
the boy tore it
and jumped off
the bridge
Wow this made me cry.... its
Wow this made me cry.... its so moving
What a long suffering
What a long suffering person he was this boy. The poem is so oppresive and even morbid in writing, I liked the way you described the depression and loss the boy was suffering, the reader could not escape from the poem, so hypnotic was the poems quality. What a bleak end to the story also, instead of love rekindled, he jumps from the bridge! Well written.
