The Tightrope

I\'ve heard my mind shatter thousands of times
I\'ve felt my sanity slipping away
I\'ve felt myself losing a battle against thoughts and suggestions
I\'ve stood above the earth facing down, ready for the fate that awaits me
I\'ve looked around me in this darkness and I only saw the reasons why I\'m in such a state.


Looking off the sides of this tightrope I see two fates with the same ending
I walk forward only to feel as if I\'m taking steps backward in my recovery
I breathe this air that fills my head with lightweight
Seeing one future that\'s laid out for me and that\'s going forward.
I\'ve seen too many people falter on this rope, I knew it would be my turn soon enough
I only have to hope that I will see the light again.
