Hope Poem by Mandy Author2

Standing at the edge of this bridge,
I turn around looking for someone to stop me,
Seeing no one there I turn back to face my fate,
I slowly climb over ther railing,
Merely glancing over my shoulder this time,
No longer expecting to be stopped,
Now I'm on the other side of the railing,
Hands behind my back griping the rail,
Believing there is only me to stop me,
That's not enough,
I let go of the railing,
Push off of it,
Expecting to fall,
And yet I don't,
It's then that I notice the arms wrapped around me,
Then that I realize they wouldn't let me fall,
Even if I wanted to,
Then they pull me back to safety,
Or so they believe,
But I know I was already safe,
The whole time,
Now I know one thing for sure,
I won't do this again,
For the steady arms around me are shaking,
And I won't put them through this again
