Jump!

I stand alone on a precipice ; a ledge if you will.
Waiting for a boldness that was once within me.
I stand here, noting the lovely people that have
Love.
I have nothing.
My tears make me woozy and I stumble!
Holding on at the last minute saves me; Garden
All over again.
I feel so desolate, alone and unwanted. Forgotten,
I know it isn't so, but everyone else has someone,
I have no one. I am the outsider, the one looking in,
I simply stand there, alcohol my only support.
And everyone is yelling.., JUMP!
One day I will....

    Your moods come crashing in like the waves of time.
    Don't let the riptide take you out to sea.
    When you feel your feet sinking in the sand,
    Reach out and someone here will take hold. :)

    The Ledge is a lonely place, Whispering Hands. Many of us have walked out on it. Creativity seems to be one of your antidotes- and a good one at that! This forum is a great place to feel less lonely. Looking forward to seeing more of your work here. Wishing you strength and comfort.

    I know that feeling.
    Pick up my debut novel here on amazon: Jonny Bails Floatin (in paperback) (also available on Kindle for $2.99)

    life will turn around
    remember what the man said
    self-tolerance and self-love

    What if it didn't work out Tree?

    I know a guy that had a fun night gambling at a casino. It was his first time in the states. And he had a rental car. He wasn't drunk or high. He was super excited.

    He parked on the roof of a 5 story parking garage. As he was leaving, He put the gear into drive instead of reverse. He flipped that car 5 stories. He landed upside down. It took a few hours for the EMT to cut him out of the car.

    He didn't even have a bruise. He was very embarrassed.

    Don't jump with out a rope, slack line, parachute, etc. Divine intervention makes the rules. Someone is going to catch you as you fall, and you will have to explain. ;)

    If some one tells you to jump, suggest that they try it first. If they land okay... still walk away.

    It reminds me of that day here when some one told me I was the perfect example of a "Life Wasted". Dude, that really hurt. I realize now he just hates himself, and took it out on me. My life isn't a waste. I do stuff.
    You clean brains and help the sick.

    Emotional Vampires are evil. They just want to drain your happy vibes. :roll: your eyes and give them a kite to fly. I had an ex boyfriend and he was so irritated at this girl he told her, "why don't you STFU and go put on a white turtleneck". I laughed so hard when he told me, I almost peed my pants.

    Why Go?

    "She scratches a letter
    Into a wall made of stone
    Maybe someday
    Another child
    Won't feel as alone as she does

    It's been two years
    And counting
    Since they put her in this place
    She's been diagnosed
    By some stupid fuck
    And mommy agrees


    She seems to be stronger
    But what they want her to be is weak
    She could just pretend
    She could join the game
    She could be another clone

    Why go home?

    What you taught me
    Put me here
    Don't come visit"

    You are better than this. think of this song when you feel that way.




    I hate this song... but I think you do like it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPoEA43cqKc


    I prefer...
    Incubus..

    It's okay.

    All will be well.

    I wish I had more to say......

    How can I tell one not to, when I'm racing them to the ledge?

    Don't fucking do it!

    Hypocrisy in action.
    I'm fake.
    How quaint.
    Peace, Love.
