The Precipice
I am the price you can't pay.
I am the debt you can't repay.
I am the monster under your bed
I am the demon in your head.
I am the test you can't pass.
I am the trial you can't outlast.
I am the truth you can't surmise.
I am the lie you can't disguise
I am the sun you can't outrun.
I am the moon you can't shun.
I am the slight you can't ignore
I am the friendship you can't restore.
I am the hate that bleeds you dry.
I am the tears you can't cry.
I am the lust you crave.
I am the trust you gave.
I am the change you won't make
I am the chance you won't take.
I am the life you waste.
I am the love you debased.
I am the self-loathing that binds you.
I am the pain that winds you.
I am the drug you desire.
And I am the high you require.
