Growth
6/3/12
Here I am again
Singing a tune on this ledge
The sounds of hate and fear
They fill the air
The only thing all around I hear
Roads deviate here
I cannot choose
The times here are tough
And any other way won’t be easier
It’s all way too rough
A decision to be made
I’m getting closer now
But when I don’t know
For it is all a bit blurry
An emotional flurry of snow
It’s time for a change
It was bound to happen soon
I must make my choice
Whether or not you like it
I will not lose my voice
It is dangerous yes
It is risky too
But I must take the leap
And I know the consequences
I must keep
I’ve always felt this dread
Knowing I want to die
But it is with this alternative
To a life of hate and fear
That I want to try and live
Give me that freedom
Give me that chance
It’s my life to take not yours
So give me the hope
That I can grow
