On The Bridge (The Poem)<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I watched the man standing on the bridge<\/span><\/p>\n

Being a curious teenager, I tried to impress<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNice car, Mister\u201d I said<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The man yielded a faint smile in return<\/span><\/p>\n

Being a curious teenager, I wanted a conversation<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYes! With you Mister\u201d I insisted<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The man came closer to me<\/span><\/p>\n

Being a curious teenager, I questioned him<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhy? Why?\u201d I asked<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The man took his time to reply<\/span><\/p>\n

Being a curious teenager, I was patient<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone was blind to see\u201d He said<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The man then leaped into the oncoming traffic<\/span><\/p>\n

Being a curious teenager, I ask you<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhy do people commit suicide???\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
