Rescue Me...

Standing on the edge,
Looking down below.
Wishing I knew what would happen,
And how far I should go.

Water swirls and crashes,
Under my feet.
I wonder how they would feel,
If I jumped to my defeat.

No one would really miss me,
They wouldn't even care.
Yes, I know that sounds sad,
But life just isn't fair.

You said I should try,
To not be so down.
Well, I have tried,
And I still hope to drown.

Small rocks have started to crumble,
As I stand here, pondering my fate.
No one has come to help,
Soon it will be too late.

Maybe if someone had held me close,
And helped me to see.
I wouldn't be so alone now,
And would've said, "Rescue me..."
