I Turned Around

From one edge to another,

I saw that day.

Land on both sides, void betwixt.

There was a milestone and it said

“SUCCESS: A Leap Away,

 DISTRESS: The Very Same.”

I knew, one wrong step,

And its Humpty-Dumpty all the way down.

Not that pain scares me, we’re next of kin,

Not that despair haunts me, Not that I don’t dare.

But as I stood there and looked on,

Both sides were the same,

Barren, rocky ground.

Life game me an edge to leap off,

And I turned around.
