A ledge, A step, A fall

Im standing on a ledge On a mountain With a view as far as the eye can see The wind is pushing me back Toward safety The urge to jump is Clawing at me All the secrets And lies Piled ontop of eachother Overwhelm my mind With thoughts of Death All it takes is one step Off the ledge That one moment of nothingness As i fall Surging toward the ground But maybe death is safety And whatever awaits in life For me tomorrow Is danger Clouded by a lie of happiness.

Why cant people just tell you the truth? Why cover your tracks with lies that just get uncovered.
