Stand Tall

There I stand
On the edge
Toes curl over
I am left

I don't look down
From the cliff
Close my eyes
I take a breath

I wonder what it feels,
Like to fall
See my life flash and,
Not feel small
Feel like I'm flying
After all
But no, I won't ever crumble
I stand tall

As my eyes close
I can see how
I would always
Let them down

So here I stand
The wind howls
Should I just
Jump off now

I wonder what it feels,
Like to fall
See my life flash and,
Not feel small
Feel like I'm flying
After all
But no, I won't ever crumble
I stand tall

Feel adrenaline
Through my veins
Feel the wind
Thrash my face

Hit the bottom
Feel the pain
For the first time
Then never again

Sometimes I sit and ask myself why
What it feels like when you die
To see those faces one more time
To have to say one last goodbye
Which is why I wont comply

I wonder what it feels,
Like to fall
See my life flash and,
Not feel small
Feel like I'm flying
After all
But no, I won't ever crumble
I stand tall

Because I refuse to crumble
I will not be small

Now I feel like I am flying
After all
Because I won't ever crumble
I stand tall

I refuse to crumble
I stand tall

Coffee

Stand on the edge, Tied to a noose, Not too tight, Not too loose. Stepping off, One more thought, Granddad says You better not. Do not see me Way up here It's not your time, Nowhere near.

Best

Before I can can get back to my best. There is one thing that I must do. I have to put and end to all this shit. Cut it away as if it was bonds. Therefore I must do what I always do.

I don't know how it happens. I can be so happy one second. I've got the bottle in my hand, and I know not one thing is stopping. None of you will miss me.

Axing Anxiety

Derailing dillusions, disaster denied. Portraying illusion through half opened eyes. Conclusions resulting in worry's demise. Reality retrieved from the depths of my mind.

Bullshit

Tired. Why even bother, Trying. Lying is easier, Dying is easier. Time. It's only a matter of it Before I lose it, Before I throw a fit. Ostracized.
