Perspective

Behold premise of my demise I wrote the ending hoping it would suffice The Novocaine leaks into my brain And spills out through my mood swings each day The changes I make All shift with my intake of serotonin from reliving my mistakes For I see all the forfeit I made See-sawing on the ether Life and death I regain the fibres that create my existence And bolster my name Fixated on maintaining consciousness this mountain I claim I savour each breath that I take Recalled my life flashed before my eyes Replayed the hard parts, I won't disguise Realise my new lease on life I died and was reborn at 25 I chose to survive Renewed lease on life I chose to survive I won't take my life as a due sacrifice I won't let this claim my life I won't die on this cold hillside You watched the blood rush from my cheeks A pale ghost hung where ends meet You pulled me up, and brought me back to life I died and was reborn at 25 Won't face my demise I chose to survive Embrace my new height My life perspective redefined that night If I had the chance to climb mountains again I'd face my fear and trek towards new heights instead I take the beauty in I love the view from here I love the view from up here
