Trying not fall
But the railing is wet
And her footing has broken
I hang on by just a tiny thread
No one stands above me
No one stands below me
People look on from a far
They give encouraging words
To far away to lend a hand
To close to act like they don’t see
She looks down at her demise
The river rushing below
All sounds have quieted
The rain is falling softly on my face
The cold makes her begin to shake
All goes numb
She looks at the river
There is a chance she will be
O.K.
The river may catch her and sweep her away
But the rocks are many
And the river is small
No one stands below me
No one stands above me
No hand is there for me to hold
I must do this alone
She pulls with all her force
But has no strength
The sun has gone down
No one can see her anymore
The onlookers have all gone home
She draws in a deep breath
And pulls with everything she has
It is not enough
She prays that river will catch her
It is dark
The onlookers have all gone home
The little black bird
With its little broken wing
Fell in to the dark black night
With no one to help
And no one to care.
