Not a Jump for Joy
Girls jeering, boys laughing,
No one's here to watch my back.
Teacher smiling, mother hugging,
I somehow tell myself it's fake.
In the car, mind is blank,
Tears all come and never stop.
On the bridge, only thinking
Of the things I think I lack:
People who would care, people who will care, when I'm really gone.
I jump. It's easy.
And as I fall there's just enough time to think four small words;
I wish I hadn't.
