Otherside

A moment in time No words I’m a mime Look all around Stare at the ground My face how it sinks Tired eyes slowly blink I look down at my hands The bruises demand To find another fix My mind how it conflicts I see the train coming now The impact I allow I don’t see a way out Sink in my doubt The tears on the faces My mind how it races All I let go Because I know The battle was lost A bridge I can’t cross My problems they cost Every way I exhaust I curl in a ball Sink against a dirty wall I cry and I call A small sliver of hope A slippery slope I feel so far gone But there’s always a dawn A new day for me A new way to be Fixing the broken Making words not unspoken Taking a leap Straight down it’s so deep I let go and I open my eyes Somehow I’m on the other side
