Is it safe ?
Of course not
Is it deadly ?
Depends on the shot
Is it hurtful ?
Depends on your nerves

Every step is your potential fall,
Every leap of faith is when you recall
This is how you get over the wall

Is it sane ?
Of course not
Is it risky ?
By chance, quite a lot

Every break into the outside world
Can be the scariest experience ever,
But hell,
Is there a more unsafe area
Than the depths and width of your mind ?
Is there a more life-threatening moment
Than when you’re stuck into your brain wires,
And no one else talking to you
But your conscience of an absolute loss…

So let me be your otherness
If you ever sense you need one.
Let me fill the emptiness
When a soul mate you have none.

I mean you no harm,
I don’t bear any grudge
And I’ve taught my own arms
Not to unfold with urge

Is is safe, you wonder ?
Let us try
And if it hurts
We know why
