Some days I creep up on it
To the Edge of here and there
Scrape my skin, holding it together
When all that holds me here is fear
Leaning out as far as I can go
Too scared to make a full commitment
After a life, what’s there to show?
Some bitterness, joy and resentment
The thought of letting it all slip away
Brings a peace that haunts my soul
When what is waiting on the other side, may
One day take hold if I lose control
So I wipe my eyes and thank the Lord
For the fear that guards my heart
This piece of dirt that clings to all 10 toes
Has once again, saved me from the rocks
