Walk Straight Or Away

Meandering close to the brink of insanity I wandered one foot to the left on this day Stumbling, I reached for anything, but nothing As I sank into insanity and all thoughts ran away Terrific light, so bright, it appeared before me Making sense of the nonsense that served to destroy Like a rope thrown before me, I went to the brightness Climbing and focusing with every ounce of strength to employ Hands to the top, I was able to pull myself up Then standing on that brink, I then quickly ran away Never to look back to that place where darkness thrived I learned an important lesson, oh yes I did, upon that day Never walk too close to your edges in life Allow yourself room to always get so far away It is never good for you to tempt fate or even dare it But rather focus on the truth of yourself and the light of day For the light will guide you always, in the very best way
