Sittin here.....
on this cliff......
Watchin my life slowly...
Like it's some type of movie....
Rated R....
Becuz of the love that I have questioned
And the heartbreak that I'm bound to take


I' have so many years left.....
Yet, I'm sittin on the edge of this cliff....
This...
3,596 foot deep rock water fall..
I wonder if I'll scream going down..

All the taunts...
They don't get to me...
All the tricks that are standing on the corner..
Waiting for sumthing to pop off who taunt me..
For having sumthing better to do than
Waiting on a corner so that..
i can talk to a *****
Who wants to "talk" to me
Bein broken into again
Ain't what I'm looking for

God could grant me an entire fortune
aOr in two hours..I
could meet my future husband...
Yet...
I am here...
Sittin on the edge of this cliff

Waiting...for a miracle to save me
Waiting ...for sumthing I cannot see
Or will it be too fast that...

I wonder what will be the last thing I remember...
Will it be my screams?
The tears in my eyes?
Or the reason why I'm here.......
 
don't look down

baby don't look down
instead look around
from your toes to the horizon
eyes beyond the corner
I'm feelin' your mind reach
past the mundane
maybe the ache of growin' pains
count it all as gain
naw...
don't look down
don't even think in that direction
see that creation is as creation does
as sure as gravity
while having the whole of creation
at your finger tips
let them soft lips sing a song
of horizons
where sunrises are the hook
harmonies come in dusk
flavors and hues
and then savor the sound
naw...
don't look down
enstead look around:)

feelin' ya, poet!
 
deep mental thoughts here ......
tears will dry
memories lost
the screams will fade
the cliff become small
hope set in by the faith
of all action made
unto u as skrybe say
don't look down but around u

dis was deep i felt it as i played it in my mind
