One More Fight

I've been thrown to the ground,
I've cried the oceans and rivers,
I've been on the ledge.

I've never given up,
I never took that step,
In front of all those speeding cars.

I've had reasons,
I still do,
And I've had many opportunities,
I still do.

But I'm still here;
Getting up,
Swimming through my life,
And stepping back.

My mind has been the play toy,
For everyone,
But I've given them a dummy.
I took my mind back today.

I'm tried of the nonbelievers,
Trying to tell me to stick it out,
When I cry for one night to breathe.

They all think that this is made up,
I've lied about work,
I've exaggerated stories,
But if I ever talk about this,
I never lie or exaggerate.

Then there are those,
Who stepped out,
And tried to help.

They got me dried up,
They got me to go see help,
They helped me get there.

The rain soaked my bones,
The wind chilled my heart,
Yet I still walked,
I still sat on the cold, wet concrete,
I still cried my eyes out,
As the world walked by.

This may seems like a life story,
But this all happened,
Today.
