I stand on the ledge looking down
Trying not to fall
Dusk slowly setting in
The night sky appearing
I fall to my knees
Bend my head down
My breathing gets harder
As I try to relax
Knowing everything deep inside
Trying break free from their cage
Doors rattling
Locks on cages bang
The notices get louder
Holding my ears tightly
Ready to scream
Nightfall sets in
The ledge begins to recede from view
Sounds grow soft
Placing my hands on the ground
Feeling the gravel and dirt
Stirring up dust
I find the ledge
Pulling myself closer
Leaning down I scream
Every ounce of me
Trying to let go
Heaviness still fills me
