The Old Bridge
One jump to end it all
One choice to keep it going.
The biggest decision she'd ever make
She Weighs her options
One so simple
The other so hard
But she just wasn't sure
she wanted to keep going.
The days that never end
The nights that come and go too quickly
From up here the water looks so scary
But so is what’d she would face
if she didn't jump.
Nothing ever seemed good enough
She didn't say much about it,
Afraid that people would say
she was making it up.
That she had no real problems.
She loved her friends
But yet she constantly had to compete with them
She hated her family
Plain and simple
To her parents
she was never good enough
her grades were too low
she swam too slow
Her weight was too much
She felt like she could never please them.
Her boyfriend tried all he could
To make her realize he loved her
But all she could say was don't lie to me.
The splash the water made
Broke the silence as she jumped
She spent the rest of her days
Haunting the old bridge.
