One Step Forward

Standing at the pointed edge of this cliff,
Staring down at the jagged rocks below...
Holding the fraying rope of life hanging from above.
Wondering, I shrug...
Should I just let go?

Supposedly a light at the end of the tunnel,
Just how long is this winding road?
Complete n' total darkness along the way...
So damn tired of this never ending cold!
