Talk me down

Talk me down

From the ledge, the edge of existence

About to jump, just talk me down 

From this craziness in my brain, 

This infinite insanity, just wont let go of me

Surround me with arms and eyes 

Tell me you’ll watch over me

Soul sister, soul mate, friend, father, 

Mother maybe, just a sole connection

That could be just all I need to fill

This emptiness within,

This walking talking shell I’ve become 

Never had any control

Or maybe I did and I just didn’t know

That I could say no, 

To the voices screaming in my head

Telling me I’m not perfect, that I must be

Just the way I’m expected to be

Strong yet soft, thoughtful yet bold

A goddess and a whore

A beacon of joy and yet serene

Sometimes not heard just seen

What does it even mean?

Just that I’m not enough maybe

And that this was always where 

I would end up,

This ledge, the edge of my existence
