May 2016
On the edge of it all
Looking down at everything
The air feels thinner

I'm really on solid ground
But I can feel myself about to fall
Like standing on the side of a skyscraper
my back against a wall

Why can't I just be laying down
looking up at the sky?
A night sky, watching fireflies
Realizing how they ignite the fire
in my eyes

I can feel the pain before it comes
It's such a sad trait
Don't want to be consumed by hate
I just want let it go

Things are a little different
Change is inevitable
But if I'm able to take a breath at a time
Maybe I'll overcome
