On top of the roof
The air is so cold and so calm
I say your name in silence
You don't wanna hear it right now

The eyes of the city
Are counting the tears falling down
Each one a promise
Of everything you never found

I scream into the night for you
Don't make it true, don't jump
The lights will not guide you through
They're deceiving you, don't jump

Don't let memories go of me and you
The world is down there out of view
Please, don't jump

You open your eyes
But you can't remember what for
The snow will falls quietly
You just can't feelin' no more

Somewhere out there
You lost yourself in your pain
You dream of the end
To start all over again

I scream into the night for you
Don't make it true, don't jump
The lights will not guide you through
They're deceiving you, don't jump

Don't let memories go of me and you
The world is down there out of view
Please, don't jump, don't jump

I don't know how long
I can hold you so strong
I don't know how long

Just take my hand
Give it a chance
Don't jump

I scream into the night for you
Don't make it true, don't jump
The lights will not guide you through
They're deceiving you, don't jump

Don't let memories go of me and you
The world is down there out of view
Please, don't jump, don't jump
And if all that can't hold you back
Then I'll jump for you

Jump when I say, “jump.”
No.
Why not?
I’ll jump when I’m ready.
No, jump now. I said, “jump.”
No.
I said, “jump.”
I know you did.
Then do it.
I said I’ll jump when I’m ready.
You’re fired.
I know.
Jump already.
When I’m ready.
The time had come, and she jumped.
You jumped.
I know.
Why?
You asked me to, and I was ready.
I don’t understand.
Oh, well.
Jump.

Jump, Jump, jump, bump,
Heaven to earth, jump

Bump, jump, bump, jump
Trip, slip and bump

Like ****, ****, ****
Don’t pile money jump

It's amazing how much living you can miss out on with a simple polite refusal.
In an instant you must jump off the carousel
Landing among the infinite paths that intersect into oblivion
That instant you jump can feel like a lifetime, but do not weigh it as such
To dwell on a single leap is to miss the opportunity still ahead.

Just jump with confidence
Confidence instilled by knowing that wherever you may land,
happiness or not, you are always one chance, one jump away from that happiness.

The carousel is spinning to fast to jump back on.
So never regret the jump you made, for it is gone.
Spinning into oblivion with the jumps not taken.
And there is no way of getting it back,
But why would you want it.
Next jump, Happiness.

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.
she told herself she was going to die the day she was born.

In school I was told that I was small,
I was portrayed as a gold fish who lived in a small tank,
Like a small fish who was scared to jump to a larger one,
They failed to notice, fish can’t breath while they jump.

In school I was told that I was lazy,
I was displayed as if I were taking the easier path,
They failed to notice I was an A straight student,
Only I couldn’t be happy in such a squared larger tank.

Two years have passed and I am not lazy, nor small,
The fish has grown, and it is indeed gold,
But it doesn’t jump, it swims and flies,
They failed to notice, we are not made out of a mould.

— The End —
