Lost on a feeling deep within, my pride goes tumbling
I grasp onto the edge, fingernails peeling
Cannot help but scream as I try to hold on for dear life
Quickly I fantasize about a rescuer, pulling me up at the last minute
But
   My
     Cry
        Was
       Swallowed
                    By
                      The
      ­                   Darkness
Over the cliff I go, wind whistling into and out of my ears,
If only there was a soft place to land, I could at least wait for my bones to heal
But no, this was the risk I took when I decided to climb one last time
There is no harness for life - this was the fate I chose
There
     Was
        No
          One
             to
               Disappoint
                         But
                            Myself
I feel the jagged rocks pierce my abdomen, a ******* sound
The world begins to tilt, all the memories and moments leading up to this seem small
Yet I still live. It was not a fatal blow afterall
Although anyone else would give up, I trod along - wound and all... no dressing
