.
Find the edge
and feel the fray.
Pull the thread
until it breaks.
Watch it all
just fall away.
Another life decays.
Thought you were
better off this way.
.
Like a lion in a cage.
A whole life
locked away.
The mask of your disgrace
always hid your face.
Said you were
better off this way.
.
Not gonna ask
the reasons why
so many climb
up to the sky,
to tie a rope
around the Moon,
say their last good-bye,
and leave us
far too soon.
.
Sat on the beach
the other day,
watching the world
just do its thing.
Sitting here,
listening to the waves,
alive and still in pain.
I think I’m better off this way.
