Lacking Guts


I stand at the edge.
I look into the canyon.
I breathe the air.
Why?

Why do I hesitate?
I know full well that now's my chance,
That no more will come,
That I wantno more!
My life is shit,
But my road is longer than this,
And my heart, though bruised and torn,
Is not yet ready
To give it all up.

I stand at the edge.
I look into the canyon.
I breathe the air.
This is my chance,
I won't get another.
I turn away -
I don't care.
