Not my life!

As I retreat from ledge
I find myself asking would anyone care
If I throw myself of the edge
Oh, my heart has never felt so bare.
I imagine what others might think
I cannot believe she was so weak
But never the thought of being strong for far too long
Oh, I feel like I don’t belong.
I still remember this day
When I thought all hope was gone
I found something worth fighting for
Oh, a reason to pray, he said go on.
My future, it was the only thing left for me to uncover
The only thing untouched by others
The one thing I could design on my own
Oh a new beginning, I should have known.
I will not give death the gift of my life
But I will give life the gift of my smile.
