The Edge of Oblivion

I can tell you that the edge of oblivion is a comforting place for the wise Oblivious to the wondering eyes of the layman that watch, things are seen just as they are All it takes is a few steps on par with the others & before you know it, you're in the void At this point of no return, there's no space to renig as you've come too far to turn back You must now face the affronts perpetrated upon the self as these acts of friendly fire help to destroy true identity Quickly burn these bridges with a passion & prove your affinity to the flame that spurred you to that point The joint venture was sparked by the light & dark parts of you in order for both to get the others point of view It's the edge that shows us who we are inside & who we need to be if only we're willing to take those steps to be free You see, the inner eye never lies but it can be deceived by eyes on the outside looking in I invite you to go within & look upon oblivion with eyes steeped in truth, as this is where all truth lies & all bets are hedged If there's one place you can visit to find yourself it's oblivions edge for losing yourself completely in its nothingness allows you to embrace its true essence which is wholeness
