I was hanging on a cliff
And when I realized
That no one was awake
To catch my fall
I gathered as much strength
To pull myself up
I lay on the floor of the peak
My skin on top of rocks and pebbles
I breathe heavily
My body’s heating up
I’m crying sweat
I made it
I made it
I told myself
I’m strong
I did it
The next morning
When people saw me at the peak
They told me they admired me
Because I was so strong
Because I was always at the peak
I smile and laugh
It may be true
That every morning
I’m strong
It could be that the sunlight
Gave me strength
They were the ray of hope
But they don’t know
That every night
Where this is no light
And everyone’s asleep
I lose my grip
I slip
