The Edge

Sinking
Drowning

It's the edge
No further space left
Not a single step left

Walking
Talking
Laughing
Smiling

I prefer

forgetting
Imagining
Sleeping
Dreaming

Those little happy moments
They don't seem happy no more
Those things that makes people smile
I can't seem to find why I used to smile along

I reached the edge
But, what would happen if I step over?
Would I cease to exist?
These happy happy sweet things
They don't make me smile

All I feel is
Anxious
Worried
Concerned

My mind won't stop working
There is no switch
Was there ever a switch?
I think I destroyed it

Breathing
I'm breathing
That's why write
But breathing feels like nothing
Just like how I feel nothing

Except Anxious
That sinking feeling
I don't want it

I believe in cure
I believe in hope
I believe in wishes and dreams that come true

But then why is there a rock?
Who are these people in my head?
Am I supposed to know them?

It's getting bigger
They don't stop
They don't want me happy
They told me that I should worry

I think it's okay
But some part of me knows it's wrong
I shouldn't accept
I shoutout fight
But why are they winning?

Tell them to stop
The light is dying
I'm running
It's fading
I'm screaming in horror

That's it
It's off
It's dark
Pitch black

But there is a glow
It's in my hands
And that's the part
I won't let them see

If I tell you when I wrote this, you wouldn't believe me. I think I realize new things about me each day and sometimes I wonder if I'm healing or getting worse? I'm going to believe in healing.

As always, do leave me your thoughts and how you would interpret it.
