The Glimmering River

It really hurts when

Everyone turns against you

The ones you trust

Twisting a knife through your heart

 

A screaming rage inside

Makes you want to hide

It makes you want to scream with fury

To release that anger flurry

 

You don’t care what happens to them

They can all die

Anger dominates, taking control

 

Then a thought occurs.

Maybe you should die

It would make everyone else happy

Why not?

You only bring on grief and unhappiness.

You only make everyone else miserable

You are useless and stupid

You’re ugly and nasty.

Who could ever like you?

Sadness dominates, taking control.

Maybe you should die.

You should die.

 

You stand at the very edge of the cliff, looking down.

The beautiful river glimmers in the moonlight

The stars twinkle off the river,

The crickets chirp peacefully.

You look up to see the beautiful stars

Resting in the beautiful sea of colors.

You have one last thought.

I could have done better.

You take a step.
