I’m supposed to be the strong one
I’m supposed to be evidence

That there is always an alternative
That what you do
Is always your choice

I refuse
to be the false hope
of those who put their faith in me

I confirm
How the risks you take
might break you

How the cliff you jump off
Could be the last thing
You ever lay your eyes on

Also
Could it be
The beginning of the rest of your life

Without your falls
You’d never get the chance to get back up

And acquire the message
That was so obviously

Meant to be given to you
