At the Edge

I'm here, I'm at the edge,

Will I jump?

Or will I walk away and forget?

Everything in my body is telling me to jump so I can finally be free.

Free from stress, free from pain,

Free from being depressed, free from the thoughts I can't sustain.

But my heart is telling me no.

It's telling me to turn around and go.

Forget my dreams and leave them all behind.

Leave them as a memory that never sees daylight.

But without my dreams, what am I?

What's my place?

What's my purpose?

Because without my dreams, I feel worthless.

I'm losing my drive and with that my willingness to live.

Life is supposed to be amazing, but for me it's a terrible gift.

And a thought in my mind stands tall,

"Maybe I am better off dead."

Now I'm thinking if I leap and take my fall this will never happen again.

Maybe it's time to finally put away the fantasies, and quit playing pretend.
