A Thought Process

I was on a walk the other day and it made me want to write this.

It's just an conventional day

But I'm on the asphalt

Tears obscure my vision 

Escaping the threads of my life fraying

Upon the disarray strewn in front of me

 

I stop in the middle of the road

On a bridge over a shallow creek 

And as I'm straddling the fencing 

My train of thought begins to kick into action

And a formidable thought process undertakes 

 

I see my reflection in the water

The jagged boulders that lie barely a foot underneath the surface 

I place my feet firmly on the concrete 

And bend over the railing 

Wishing that my fingers would slip

 

But they don't 

I back up and sit in the middle of the street

And wait for a car to come

 So I can make my escape

Yet, the road is deserted 

 

I wipe my eyes dry 

Paint a fake smile on my face

 Get onto my bike

And peddle as fast as I can 

Away from the abyss
