Second Thoughts.
Second Thoughts.
I stood upon a
massive bridge
considering suicide,
But plans were
interrupted by
folks offering
me a ride.
A Grandma
stopped
to simply share
fresh cookies....
chocolate chip,
as if she thought
it just might help,
to snack before
my dip.
Two teens they
handed me a beer,
plus tickets
to a show,
Where I could
leap in moge pits,
rather than the
depths below.
A policeman
pulled up later
dropped his
window
with a sigh,
then radioed
that he might need
an ambulance
standing by.
A priest came by
and sprinkled me
with a holy
watered prayer,
I really didn’t
mind the spritz,
It was far wetter
down there.
Then suddenly
I pondered
how these
strangers showed
they cared,
This world I'd felt
abandoned in
had brought
so many there.
So I nibbled
on a cookie,
and headed off
towards home,
convinced that
I was worthy,
and no longer
so alone.
