Wenn man träumt ...

... zu sterben

Please do not jump!

She was alone.
She cried.
She had no one.
She had to endure one alone in this world.
Hated by everyone.
Bullied by everyone.
Despised by everyone.

Not having friends is hard.
Having a family that hates you is hard.
Very difficult.

She was beaten ... By her own father.
She was ignored ... by her own mother.
She was laughed at ... by her own sister.

Solitude dominated everyday life.
Everyday life was dominated by sadness.
With every new day there was more pain.
Physical and mental.

She finally wanted to be free.
Once in her life she wanted to enjoy freedom.
Once like the birds climb the air.

Tears ran down her cheeks.
She was in her bed.
Her father had been there before.
She was trembling all over.
She was afraid …
Because there was no one who could help her ...
Nobody in the world was there for her.

"I can't take it anymore," she whispered to herself.

She sat up.
She touched her head.
It hurt.
For a long time.
But actually she didn't even notice this pain anymore.
She moaned softly.
Her stomach hurt too.
Suddenly she couldn't hold back her pain.
She wept bitterly.

"How many times have I had that one thought?" She wondered.

She had this thought too often.
Just jump and be free.
She smiled a little at the thought.
She made up her mind.
She got up.
She put on her favorite clothes.
She didn't take anything with her.
Left everything stand and lie.
She did not write a note for her family.
She crept to the front door.
Nobody noticed how she disappeared into the darkness.
As she walked, she put on her jacket.

With slow steps she ran towards the bridge.
But the closer she got, the slower she got.
She thought about her life.
She wondered if she should do it.
She nodded …
At least she made this decision.
She wanted to jump.
She arrived with slow steps.
Looked down at the dark water.
She started to tremble ...

"I can finally be free ..." she thought with a slight smile.

She climbed onto the ledge of the bridge.
Holding on ...
Looked down.
She thought ...
She just nodded ...
Take a step forward.
But did not jump.
She did not notice that a car was passing by.
It slowed down.
She was still standing on the ledge.

"I should finally jump ..." she mumbled to herself.

She swallowed, took another step forward.
Looked down at the water.
She shuddered ...
But she wanted to jump.
She finally wanted to be free.
But she took her foot back again.
She did not notice that the police were arriving ...
Nor did she notice that the bridge was cordoned off ...
She didn't notice ...
She was absorbed ...
To jump deep in your thoughts ...She didn't even notice that a boy came running ...
He came panting at the barrier.
He said that he knew her, that he wanted to talk to her.
The police let him ...

He said her name softly ...
But there was no reaction ...
He called her name ...
She turned on the ledge ...

"Don't come any closer ... I'm jumping ..." she said in a trembling voice.

But he kept walking with small steps.
Reached out a hand to her.
"Please ..." it came from him pleadingly.
She turned around again ...
She swallowed ...

"I'll jump ..." she said softly and barely audible.

But suddenly the boy started to sing ...

"Above the roofs,
is it so cold
and so quiet.
I keep silence from your name
because you now
don't want to hear.
The abyss of the city
devours every tear that falls
There's nothing down there
what keeps you up here ... "

That was the boy's first verse.
He kept singing ...

"I scream into the night for you,
do not leave me high and dry,
Do not jump.
The lights don't catch you
they are cheating on you.
Do not jump.
Remember yourself,
to you and me.
The world down there doesn't count
Please don't jump ... "

The boy hesitated slightly.

"In your eyes,
everything seems pointless and empty.
The snow falls lonely
You haven't felt it for a long time.
Somewhere out there,
you got lost
You dream of the end
to start all over again ... "

The girl swallowed ...
She held on tighter and tighter.

"I scream into the night for you,
do not leave me high and dry
Do not jump.
The lights don't catch you
they are cheating on you.
Do not jump.
Remember yourself,
to you and me.
The world down there doesn't count
Please don't jump ... "

The boy hesitated again ...
He knew she loved this song ...

"I don't know how long
I can hold you
I don't know how long.

Take my hand,
we start all over again.
Don't jump ... "

Did the boy end ...
Suddenly the girl started to sing ...

"I scream into the night for you,
do not leave me high and dry
Don't jump ... "

She sang this sentence ...
The boy got back in.

"The lights don't catch you,
they are cheating on you.
Do not jump.
Remember yourself,
to you and me.
The world down there doesn't count
Please do not jump.

Do not jump.
And that doesn't hold you back either.
Then I'll jump for you ... "

It ended ...
He swallowed ...
Moved closer to the girl ...
"Come down ..." he said quietly ...
She shook her head ...

"No I'm sorry …
I can not anymore …"

Those were her last words ...
Then ...
... she jumped.
