I sit on the precipice of life Staring into the vastness of space My mouth is moving, but I’m only met with silence I sit there on the edge Only the stars to keep me company A tear escapes and makes it’s way down my cheek I’m fighting to get a sound out This vacuum of empty space is deafening My cheeks are stained, my dress drenched, the tears won’t stop Why can’t you see? Why won’t you hear? I’m gasping for air, but there’s none to be found In the end, we both know I’ll say I’m fine

I’m Fine
I sit on the precipice of life Staring into the vastness of space My mouth is moving, but I’m only met with silence I sit there on the edge Only the stars to keep me company A tear escapes and makes it’s way down my cheek I’m fighting to get a sound out This vacuum of empty space is deafening My cheeks are stained, my dress drenched, the tears won’t stop Why can’t you see? Why won’t you hear? I’m gasping for air, but there’s none to be found In the end, we both know I’ll say I’m fine
