I stand on a bridge that is narrow and long.
It uneasily sways in the air.
It crosses a chasm to where I belong,
And I should now cross, if I dare.
What lies ahead I'm not able to see.
Shrouded by fog, it's unclear.
I can continue to my destiny,
If I do so, I'll face what I fear.
What's left behind I know all too well.
A life where I hide what I feel.
I cannot return to that foreboding hell,
For that side of me isn't real
I stand on a bridge in my solitude,
While confusion abounds in my brain.
How do I know what I should conclude
When whatever I choose causes pain?
I stand here in silence, in my desperation,
A tear trickles down from my eye.
I can't understand how I'm in this position,
And no-one will tell me why!
Which way should I travel? This choice I bemoan.
Should I just move backwards and hide?
Should I start to go forward and face the unknown?
Or should I just step off the side?
