Strayed sheep

Walk on by as I sit upon a ledge of self-destruction.
I seek no sympathy, just a hand to hold and to pull me from the edge. 
I am deserving Aren't I?   
Those so-called words they forcefully allege 

Stepping forward by myself  
Never will I follow the leader, But this I will instead, 
Lead my own path that's right for me 
A life lived astray I pledge
