The Children's of God
Tell me young man, why is it that you wish to die"
I then was reminded of why I came to this bridge in the first place "that's right I totally forgot, I came here to kill myself, how stupid of me to forget that" I thought. I let out a little giggle and looked down at the bottomless river below and replied "well its not that I want to die but rather I don't have the will to live. Nobody in this world truly wants to die, death is a scary thing without a doubt but you see, my will to live is much weaker than my fear of death and I have somewhat rationally decided that it would be better to die now than to suffer the rest of my worthless life. Now why do I feel this way? well looking back at my life it really wasn't all that bad but you see I and many other in this world have never felt true happiness, I have felt happiness before but never true happiness for true happiness stays forever while the only happiness I have ever felt and will ever feel in this world is temporary happiness and something that is temporary is what one could call fake."
I finished my monologue and turned around to the old man awaiting a response, "so, are you going to hit me with some of your ancient wisdom or no."
The old man then replied "life is hard kid, your not always gonna get what you want, thats just life is, you can't have it all."
I laughed at the ironic things he just said in an attempt to convince me and I slowly climbed onto the railings of the bridge then replied "That's why I'm leaving this thing so called life, because its hard, because I can't have it all, because thats just how life is and I can't do anything about it..... but end it."
The young man turned around to the old man and replied with a smile "sorry but you should really get out of here before it gets ugly, anything else you wanna say?"
The old man smiled and said "very interesting"
"What?" the young man replied
"You are very interesting young man, I dont have anything else to say but something to offer or rather.... a demand since you don't really have a choice." I looked into the old man's eyes and I saw that the iris of the old man's eyes were bright red. He suddenly lunged straight at me, making me lose balance causing the both of us to fall into the river.
