The View From Halfway Down

quote:
The weak breeze whispers nothing
The water screams sublime
His feet shift, teeter-totter
Deep breath, stand back, it’s time
Toes untouch the overpass
Soon he’s water bound
Eyes locked shut but peek to see
The view from halfway down
A little wind, a summer sun
A river rich and regal
A flood of fond endorphins
Brings a calm that knows no equal
You’re flying now
You see things much more clear
Than from the ground
It’s all okay, or it would be
Were you not now halfway down
Thrash to break from gravity
What now could slow the drop
All I’d give for toes to touch
The safety back at top
But this is it, the deed is done
Silence drowns the sound
Before I leaped I should’ve seen
The view from halfway down
I really should’ve thought about
The view from halfway down
I wish I could’ve known about
The view from halfway down
To anyone with severe depression, anxiety, and loneliness over this, you’re worth it. Stay in there.

Very helpful. And -not joking- would also be relevant in the Mississippi River swim thread.

No. But they could post it on Facebook and get a little attention before they do

Actually Walter this is about jumping not brain blowing out.

Does this have anything to do with your sister?

No, a scene from Bojack Horseman that aired while I was banned. And please delete that. Thank you.
