The Battle

The Battle I saw this lady standing on a ledge, about to jump that’s when I said Hey! You! Wait! what’s the problem? She said “I got so many, a lifetime couldn’t solve ‘em” She was meek, about my height and frame That’s when I proceeded to ask her name She looked at me as if I already knew, I asked if there was anything I could do “Wait, talk to me, maybe I can help” She said “go away, it’s between me and myself” I said “NO!” “try me, tell me, what you gotta say?” She smiled and said, she can’t go another day “I gotta go, because my time is near, besides, no one really wants me here” that’s not true, I do, I want you to stay somehow I know GOD will make a way. It was true, part of me needed her here for some odd reason I was really sincere we need to understand what we’re blessed with and to know that our lives are special gifts she smiled at me as she agreed somehow I felt this was my need I stood there with something different inside the joy and peace like I had saved a life I looked up, the lady was gone I stood there on the ledge all alone she didn’t jump she must have run away, embarrassed or something about what I had to say I thought about calling her name hers and mine was one in the same Then I reflected on who she could be why she looked like me, why I couldn’t see That all the time THIS LADY WAS ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
