Precipice

I stand upon the precipice Feet teeter on the ledge A step away from peril My emotions on the edge Look down into the valley Search for signs of life A light within the darkness To end my lonely plight But all I see is emptiness Stark and hollow ground No sign of peace, serenity There's noone else around So I inch my body forward One twitch will seal my fate I brace myself then suddenly A voice tells me to wait It says that I can make it That I can soldier through I'm stronger than I think I am Got important things to do So I breathe in very slowly Back myself away No longer on the precipice This pain won't win today And so I go on fighting It's gonna be alright Just keep on pushing, going Through darkness you'll see light.
