Don&#039;t hold In an ocean, the pressure will break you<br /> ~ a.q


I live on the edge of society,
Not knowing whether to jump or to fly,
So I wait and I wait up on that cliff,
For my life to go by,
But soon I get tired of waiting,
So I peek over the edge,
But the fall is never ending,
Just like my mother once said,
And there's a little voice inside my head,
Telling me to turn back,
Because after all of the time I've been waiting,
My heart is beginning to crack,
And once my heart shatters,
And I can no longer fix all the holes,
Grief will start building inside me,
It will infect my soul,
My eyes will become thunderclouds,
And my tears will become the rain,
And the water that falls from the sky in my heart,
Will drown all my pain,
But before this wave of sadness,
Consumes me and swallows me whole,
I collect some memories from my mind,
And try to plug all my holes,
I lived on the edge of society,

Not knowing whether to jump or to fly,

But after years of looking down at the Cliff,
I finally looked up at the sky
