By A Thread on The Edge of A Ledge
by RJ Burns ©
By a thread on the edge of a ledge
I hang on by a wish and a prayer
If I stumble and fall
Live through it all
Will I lay down and say
Enough for today
Now I lay by a thread
On the edge of my bed
Between sleeping and dawn
I try my best to hang on
And just by a thread
I’ll pull back from the ledge
And hang on to a wish and a prayer
Is there more for me over that ledge
Do I pull back or run full fledge
For one day I’ll break free of the thread
And I’ll finally fall over the edge
It’s not that I want to leave you
It is me that I’m trying to escape
I’ve no strength to keep fighting the demons
That have taken control my head
And keep pushing me over the edge
