Falling from the top

by Mike G   Nov 9, 2004


As I stand on top of the world
Looking down on the ones who love me
I just can’t help but think
Of how everyone has betrayed me
You can see my figure from way up here
I can feel their cold and daunting stares
My arms out to my side
As I feel the winds rushing through my hair
I have the power to end it all
All I have to do is take that one step
I wonder if they can hear my heart beat
As it’s pounding away in my chest
No one will miss me, right?
They haven’t cared up until now
After all I’m nobody
Just another person they will forget about
Life has become too hard and lonely
It’s getting harder to just get by
I can’t seem make a difference
No matter how hard I seem to try
It’s easier to take this step
End it all before they do it for me
Do this for the entire world to see
And maybe, just maybe they will remember me
So goodbye to the ones I love
I know the feeling doesn’t go both ways
But don’t worry cruel world
You’ll forget my name is a few days
I’ll be the latest headline
Just another pawn in the unfair game
I no longer want to play
In turn I’d rather just fade away
So I here I go with my one last step
Finally I am at peace with myself
As I’m falling I take my last couple breaths
And fold the hand I was delt
