For Bonny
\nOh how I mourn you still
\nYour light so bright
\nI saw it fade you out of the picture
\nThe heroes curse that made you
\nKeep everyone afloat on your sinking boat
\nI saw you sit on that ledge everyday
\nheard you screaming through your laughter
\nSaw the troubles in your many attempts to try and make it out alive
\nSaw you try to jump and we all tried to hold you back
\nGod knows we did
\nBut still you jumped
\nOh how I mourn you still<\/p>\n
To May-Ayim
\nWho found me walking
\nA lonely girl in a lonely city
\nIt is the aloneness that cannot be filled
\nI imagine it creeping on you when you least expect it
\nWhile you sat on the ledge
\nUntil you jumped<\/p>\n
To Michelle
\nWho I walked with
\nA sister in the struggle against insanity
\nI saw troubles in her eyes
\nBut her eyes were a mirror that just reflected back my own
\nSaw her rage against the dying light
\nuntil she jumped to the light<\/p>\n
I
\nMy name is Goitseone wa ga Montsho
\nAnd I too sit on my ledge
\nOn the edge
\nIt is the rhyme and lines that keep me from jumping
\nSome days I tiptoe to the edge
\nAnd lean out just a little to see the others
\nTo women who want to jump everyday
\nWomen who wear their dark on their sleeve
\nI see you
\nEvery day you wake up on the wrong side of the world
\nSee you struggle to fit in your skin
\nIn this world that has confined your role
\nTo women who jumped off the ledge
\nTo my sisters who sit on the ledge
\nTo my kin that leans out just far enough to see the other side
\nI see you<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
