Hope, Despair and Poetry

The Edge

I'm standing on the edge

Of making it or falling once again

I don't want to fall

I want to get out of this

Can you hear my pledge

Even if I make it then when

I feel hollow and out I call

This empty feeling I'll never miss

I can feel that I'm getting out of it

Heading out of this period of pain 

It began to be a living hell

Tell me that I'll make it now

The smile begins to stay for longer than a bit

Please remove this chain

This chain holding me back from being able to tell

I'll be heading out of this with a bow

Let me tell it, let me speak

I have problems too, let me get it out

I'm getting better, I'm so happy

But at the same time it's hard to stay strong

Sometimes I just feel so weak

And get filled with doubt

And begin to feel crappy

And does everything wrong

But look at my smile

The happiness welling up in me

Even though it's not easy I'll get this through

With my wonderful friends I know I'll do

They make my smile stay for quite a while

They help me being who I want to be

And this is who

I hope I'm making them smile too
