Please let my words ring true
please let me say I’m fighting through
please understand my words to you
please let my message be used

I don’t know where I am
I’m not sure where I stand
I’m living on the edge
but I want your safety pledge

I need to know
what you’ll do.
How do I get it through to you?
Why won’t you try, too?

You’re the only reason I’m alive.
You’re the only star in my sky
but I’m afraid it’s all just lies.
What have I lost from my eyes?

You said to write so now I’m writing.
You said it’ll help but now I’m dying.
I’m so confused by this world
I’ve built for myself

I’ve strayed so far away
from the path I intended to stay.
I know you said you wouldn’t forget
but please don’t let me, my decision, regret.
Feedback would be appreciated.
