The Downward Spiral

On the edge, Leaning towards the deep end; The dark waters with their mystery... Seem to beckon you and your misery, Talking like its cold embrace will warm you, It's asking for your life and to guide you. Leaning forward into the abyss The wind whipping past your ears seem to hiss As you fly and you soar For time that makes you wish you had more Though the feeling cannot last, If you keep thinking of what people said in the past. The water boils from your unleashed rage Only stirring the whirlwind of pain and hate You claw at the blackness surrounding you. This tormenting fury you cannot bear You wish to scream in your anger, Yet your voice seems to just whimper Drowned without air... Then, you are over come with despair. The lack of life in this moment makes you weep, All you want to do is sleep, But then you think. What about the ones I will make weep? Maybe it's not all that it seems, Maybe someone is waiting just for me? To wake them from their dreams The nightmare that they cannot break free The one they are waiting in just for me? You want it all to stop You really want to quit But you know there's person waiting for a hero And this hero is you. You must get out. Out of this dream To wake the one beckoning for you. Say sorry to the black water Flail in its grip, Try to escape its unholy embrace. Your breath escapes from your lungs And your mind screams in pain. But then the darkness evaporates. Leaving you to start anew Like a phoenix rising from its own dark ashes. Look at the world that you thought you knew. Awake and breathe. Arise from your room With A new view on life. Look in the mirror, See what you want to be, The glass then shatters Setting you free. Change the world, And all that it has hurt. Do not let the one waiting for you down Find him or her and turn their life around. You won't let this world drown You won't let others follow their spiral to the ground Because you've already been to the bottom You know what it's like to hit the ground, Then lose all you have had... But now it's your chance to turn it all around Carry them up that spiral with not a look down! Help them rebuild their world again And stay with them until the end Now no one will fear the spiral again Because they will always have a friend.
