The Edge of Life

Hear I stand on the edge of life
Looking back at what I’ve become
Nothing special just a trail travesty of pain
all of those things that can’t be undone

Hear I stand on the edge of life
To you it must be absurd
The tears keep rolling down my face
My words are never heard

When I was young nothing mattered
I watched as my childhood
Was never happy or carefree
Growing into an adult
They really misunderstood
Me

Hear I stand on the edge of life
After this nothing will be the same
To go forward into the light
Or remain forever in pain

Hear I stand on the edge of life
Pleading with my very soul
Just for someone to understand me
Someone to make me whole

My children when small were taken
The man I love never really loved me
The little one is lost but not forsaken
On a path of uncertainty

Hear I stand on the edge of life
Will I be there to catch?
The fledgling this time if he falls
Or will my doubts and insecurities
Dam us all
