Sometimes it feels like I'm drowning
- Miley Cyrus




Standing at the edge 
I can see my entire existence 
My entire life 
My mother's persistence

I'm standing on this ledge
About to do what's not said
It's better this way
I tell myself

Everyone at the bottom's telling me to jump
And everyone at the top is telling me to stop
All I want is for the pain to stop too
There's really nothing to live for

The woman I love has told me to move on
The mother I love has told me I'm too small
My siblings have deserted me they said I'm too poor
My kids don't even care what their father is living for
