I’m at the edge of the precipice and I want to fall off
At this one moment, I don’t want to thrive, or feel
at all. I just want to fade into nothing
All those times, I was so afraid of the end
So I stayed locked away and safe…
but now I’m open
and I feel so unsure of everything
wondering so aimlessly, within my own skin
I can’t stand feeling so down, so lonely
and so afraid. Not knowing if I am
waiting to be caught
this time. I am standing here, and with one more tear
I could go over. I can see myself breathing
the air, and soaring – as eagles sore
Eyes closed, embracing the liberty that awaits me
No more hurt, or pain, or words that cut
or sway. Only me, only nothing
But as I tilt, I don’t know if I
Can be without a tomorrow
when it might just get a little better
