Stop

Another car passes Water in the distance Some frozen over for winter Others still open icy water A bridge The water's edge So close yet so far Adrenaline races and my mind picks up the pace Stop Stop Stop My inner mind echos I can't stop I'm like dynamite lit from both ends Help me Stop me It doesn't work I dive off the deep end In an instant I'm gone.

Very strong poem. Sometimes the feelings we feel are so overwhelming that sometimes we want to do anything to stop them. This poem reflects a lot of feelings I felt growing up. But it gets better, I never believed it when I was going through things. But now I believe and so should you.
