Don't Jump


Don't Jump : Acrostic

Dear your another song,

Another song that plays
Drowning on throughout the night
Ridding this world of certain sorrows
Ignoring the ones most in need
And or those too giddy to be taken heed of.
No one can save some of them
No one can stop them from jumping
Another song stopping for some one
 

Not even stopping to try to save a life
Idiots who push people away
Cold and broken hearted people
Only pushing them over the edge
Leaving them alone
Even the lights are deceiving you
 

Can't follow them through
Unaccepted & ashamed can still play
Through and finish their song
And if you still jump
In the background you'll only hear this
Only a drowning song playing lives on through.

From me,
Please Don't Jump.

"And or those too giddy to be taken heed of." <---- Might want to get rid of the "or" here, sounds fine with just "And those too giddy..." "Only a drowning song playing lives on through." <----- Could get rid of "playing", almost sounds like one word too many. Otherwise excellent! Peace & monkeys Bis sis "If I wasn't for all of your torture I wouldn't know how to be this way now, never back down makes me that much stronger makes me work a little bit harder makes me that much wiser thanks for making me a fighter...you tried to hide your lies disguise your
