That night she stood at the bridge
exactly at midnight.
Because she told herself that tonight
was the night.
Tonight was the night
she was going to end it all;
all her pain, suffering.
As soon as the city's clock
strikes the hour,
she was going to
J u m p.
But for a second there,
she thinks she sees her
reflection in the water under her,
but it wasn't her.
It was the broken-hearted
girl she'd always see in the mirror.
Finally, the clock strikes the hour,
she looks up at the clock
it was exactly twelve o'clock;
it was December 14th,
it was her birthday.
She told herself that
she was going to die the
day she was born, and that's
exactly what she was going to do.
It's time
Jump
Go on, do it
Jump
The voices in her head
encourage her.
Salty tears fall out of
her eyes,
she pulls her hair
in frustration,
and lets out a low yell.
"Get out of my head!"
It'll all be over if you jump
Jump
Jump
Jump
The voices get louder and
Louder.
Jump
The voice says one last time,
and this time she listens, she jumps.
