We Just Are...

We Just Are...


There was a bridge and the chance to jump came steady and strong.
It wasn't a tall bridge or a wide bridge or even a physical bridge,
it was that one that you sit on in you mind...
A steady constant place where most of us just survive,
We stand and we think...
We wonder about life in all it's infinite glory,
Most of us cry...
not because we are happy,
not even because we know we aren't happy,
we just cry...
Some of us find the choice to stay perched on this metaphysical seat or stone or mortar comforting
we can say "i don't' have anything left"
that's where the jumping comes in..
In a split second you can choose in your heart and your mind
to let go...
To give it all up...no regrets...no looking back...
Some of us give up because it's just to hard...
Some of us give up because to stay it's like killing ourselves a million times over..
Some of us are just tired...
Those of us that don't give up...
Sometimes wish we had...
Sometimes know that we are better off never knowing or giving into that pain or release...
Some of us are just trying to stay true to whatever it is we believe...
Some of us are just too scared to choose...
Either way...
We never truly step off that bridge do we?
We never truly try for something better...
or new...
or wonderful...
We just are...
