Cliff

November 7, 2024

Im blind to what they say is wrong

I step to close to the edge

Daring to fall off

One step forward and i fall into abyss

No longer worrying

One step backwards

Life falls on my shoulders

And i break from the pressure

Nothing is stopping me from doing either

But why risk the step

If I could just stay where i'm invincible

Stay were the pressure is not great enough to shatter me

Were the edge is not close enough to pull me under

Stay were the smile never reaches my face Stay where i'm comfortable
