Upon the edge,
And looking down,
The icy sea,
Of thoughts to drown,
Far reaching sky,
Horizons line,
Of life within,
There was no sign,
I asked myself,
Why did I live,
What hope I gave,
What hope to give,
What purpose I,
My life becalmed,
In tomb I dwelt,
The self embalmed,
Struggle true,
Inner fight,
Soul searching,
Now, and every night,
Question facets,
Life in glass,
Mirror image,
Time to pass,
Enduring life,
Enduring pain,
I fight to lose,
I fight to gain,
Round in circle,
Snake eats tail,
But if I must,
I shall prevail,
Upon the edge,
And looking round,
The solid earth,
Now safe and sound,
Stepping back,
Edge receding,
The time has come,
To stop,
The bleeding.
