IDEA: Watching the news, a guy was threatening to
jump off a bridge. He didn’t.
Things I Never Knew
I’m clung onto this cold steel rail, to view the sea below
Those rugged waters calling me, beg me to let go
Traffic slows and then it stops, people shouting “jump”
“your just another piece of trash, get in the harbors dump”
With that I closed my eyes so tight, releasing such a sigh
Comprehending where I was, while understanding why
Siren echoes closing in, I know what I must do
Led here by a lonely life, of things I never knew,
Things like love that no one gave, things like hope and care
Things like hugs, all chose to save, and never chose to share
Things like laughter, things like fun, were knife blades in my soul
So here I am clung to a rail, and soon I’m letting go,
Before I do, I turned around, to face the peoples cars
I had a speech I tried to preach, on how it got this far
So obvious that no one cared, so I reached towards the sky
Then I yelled to everyone, “it’s time you watch me die” ,
A backwards lean was all it took, spread eagle and I fell
Uncaring souls who told me “jump”, were silenced just as well
A million heads peer from the bridge, I watched as they got small
I shot the finger as I fell, and cursed them, one and all,
And as my neck snapped quickly back, I hit the waters foam
I quickly sank and there I died, from crushing every bone
And since today I’m sure they’ll ask, why this path I drew
Tell the papers that I died, from things I never knew--..
IDEA: My wolf throw rug
Eyes Of Wolves
One eye open, one eye shut
The glass was clear and round
I laid upon a bed of snow
To hear but one lone sound,
A voice repeating "now, now, now"
My heart kept sayin "no"
Then my finger, tripped the switch
A wolf lye’s in the snow,
My daddy said, "great shot son"
We ran to where he lay
A gurgled sound came from his throat
It's then he looked my way,
Our eyes connect, his spoke to me
As blood streamed spewing red
All they said were "why, why, why"
And now that wolf is dead,
And everyday, I think of him
Yes everyday brings pain
And "now, now, now", runs through my mind
Enough to go insane,
I sometimes go, and sit alone
Atop the spot he died
I made a marker, with a cross
From many tears I've cried,
So if somebody, asks of you
To go against your heart
And do something, you wouldn't do
Then forces on the part,
Just turn away, and don't be scared
To stop an unmade scar
No need to look in eyes of wolves
To prove the man you are.................
