You are standing on the edge
Wanting to fall
Wanting everything
But nothing at all.
You step back into the darkness
You feel so safe there
But in your mind
You know there is nothing to fear
You step back onto the edge
And you take a deep breath
You scream at the top of your lungs
Letting all the air escape from your chest
And with that air escapes something else
All your fear
All your frustration
All your pain
All your worry
All your disappointment
And most of all- - -
All the lie that you've heard
All the torturous and treacherous words
That made you ache with regret.
This is the calming effect
of your rooftop.
