Believe me, I am breaking under the pressure of life and the static routine of a schedule. Believe me, if this time, because in the ebullition of my intoxication; a mind wringing in the brink of dislocation will surrender to the edge of a ledge. Believe me, I beg you, before my feet carry on wayward and the neurons press a red button on my self's destruction. Just look at me, for once! Notice the way red snakes have scarred my shaking arms, the way caustic tears scorch my pale cheeks and wails turn inward; a shrieking sorrow. Please, understand me and save my mind on a ledge.

Mind on a Ledge
Believe me, I am breaking under the pressure of life and the static routine of a schedule. Believe me, if this time, because in the ebullition of my intoxication; a mind wringing in the brink of dislocation will surrender to the edge of a ledge. Believe me, I beg you, before my feet carry on wayward and the neurons press a red button on my self's destruction. Just look at me, for once! Notice the way red snakes have scarred my shaking arms, the way caustic tears scorch my pale cheeks and wails turn inward; a shrieking sorrow. Please, understand me and save my mind on a ledge.
Just really stressed lately, had a mental breakdown. So horrid, too much expectations when I only just want to be me.
