This Side



This Side

I am on this side of the fence
Tears come easy when balancing on a ledge
I know that a step less will throw me into the abyss
So I take care, but grab the air as I often miss

How far into the abyss do I tumble?
It goes down and life is then a jungle
I’m scratched as I struggle
My determination breaking my fall

In the abyss the bottom calls
But THAT is death, and I must stall
Arrest my fall is my only thought
Strength in my mind is the brake and I am caught

To climb the side once again and feel thorns
My emotions oppose will, so pain becomes my ally
The blood I leave behind cries tears I no longer have
Back to the mind brake that curses my years
