Taking the Plunge

I sat on the edge of the cliff. 

Unnerved.

Down below hosted thick, rolling fog, 

And unimaginable horrors, 

With an unpredictable future to come. 


I sat on the edge of the cliff. 

My feet swinging, looking into the void.


I sat on the edge of the cliff. 

Knowing that I had to go through and across

To fix myself. 


I sat on the edge of the cliff. 

My heart heavy with uncertainty, 

About what was to come. 


I sat on the edge of the cliff. 

Asking; 

Will I take the plunge?

Only the void knows.
