If I tell myself
          It’s fine
          It’s okay
          I’m alright
If I say it enough times
          Will it come true?
          Will I believe it?
          Will I stop feeling like ****?
Someone please come
          Save me
          Make me feel safe
Because I feel like
          I’m drowning
                    Crashing
                              Falling
And I have half a mind
          To just let my self
                    Drown
                              Crash
                                        Fall
Somebody listen
          To my call
Because I have half a mind
          Which doesn’t want to go
But right now
          That half is losing
So here I am
          Ever so slowly descending
Into empty space I go
          When it’s beside you I’d much rather be
So please won’t you come and listen
          To this lilting melody
          This playful banter
          Between me and my fleeting sanity
Yes
          It’s fine
          It’s okay
          I’m alright

Yes no need to worry
But hurry
          Please hurry
Try to make me feel lucid
          As you tug me back to reality
Help me back up
          Because I did bring rope
But it’s much too short
          To scale the sides of this pit
And the ladder
          Has fallen over
Along with the chair lying on its side
My head is spinning
          And my neck is aching
                    Won’t you pepper it with kisses
                              To stop the burning?
But you’re not here
          No one is

And maybe later
          I won’t be either
