On The Edge

Standing on the edge of darkness
I see a pin prick of light
I'm walking towards it
But it grows no closer
I start to run, faster and faster
But still it stays so far away

At first it felt like I was floating
But now my feet are growing heavy
I slow down, the stop and stand still
I realise I am standing high up
Precariously balanced on a fine line
I stumble, unsure where to fall

On one side
my friends and family
But the pain is far too much
On the other
The pain is all over
But I am alone

I have to chose
Oh god, don't make me chose
I don't want to decide my own fate
It hurts so bad
But i must go on
I can't just leave it all behind

the whole world brightens
A pure white light surrounds me
slowly everything comes into focus
I am back
Back from the edge of darkness
