Over The Edge
November 17, 2013
It took a lot
Just to speak it
Out loud
In the open
You make me a fool
With nothing but shame
I am but a tool
For the world's anger
So shove me
Off the side
Over the edge
Into the bliss they call nothingness
Shrug off my existence
Show them my worth
When I fall
Through darkness
Give them the truth
Display no lies
And tell them
Why I am no more
So shove me
Off the side
Over the edge
Into the bliss they call nothingness
And I will be there
At the bottom
In the dark
Waiting
Just over the edge.
