the drop

As the furious rain drips around me

Hiding the tears flowing down my face

I look down to the deep, dark, lifeless drop

But to me when I look down I see hope, an escape, a way out

One step forward and I am on the edge

My life hangs in the balance like a ripped shirt hanging on by the seam

I am broken, people think I can hold it together, but things aren't always what they seem

Times running out and I make my decision

I take the step and for once in my life I am at peace

From the dark drop I see a light

A light to take me home

And once I reach the bottom

I'll never feel alone
