Staring Into The Abyss With You

This is sheer me being dramatic with words. But I always write what I feel, it comes from inside me. I feel trapped, I write, like now...

Spaces too deep for me to see in

A long way to go before I go over

Though not so long as you know. 

I can go a long time being afraid..

And I can stand at the cliffs edge for years.

Go ahead put my tear streaked face o'er

Make me look into the abyss below

I can hold

My own self up 

For far longer than you fathom. 

My beliefs were stricken dead 

Over a decade ago

Do you think I'm afraid 

Of your accepting abyss?
My mind's a miss and my heart leaps

I'm afraid but just barely;

Looking down at my eventual fate

I realize I just need to be stronger

Stronger than you 

Somehow someway

I'll turn the table

You can look o'er the edge

And I'll  be okay.
