Just another random writing of mine
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There's a brink of despair, and I am standing right on it.
Straight on the edge I stand stock-still, not daring to move my feet. The solid earth before me is no longer safe, as everything I've ever known has been turned completely upside-down. Or perhaps my mind is simply wandering, while my body's locked in place, hovering just beyond the hungry gape of oblivion.
That infinite void, that ebony maw that welcomes me with hissing whispers in the chambers of my mind, its hunger satisfied would be the end of me. I fear death, and I fear the life before me. Here I make my choice, as I lean backwards, tilting slowly, slowly past the edge... I no longer know if it is my mind that moves towards ruin, or my body as a whole.
I cannot decide... and so becomes apparent the flaw that I possess. Indecision racks my form like piercing claws made ready for my heart, digging deeper with every moment that I stand still, unmoving, undecided, going nowhere. In the end, I have no choice. Both journeys lead into darkness; I cannot see the light ahead. My path is filled with fog, and my mind, a turncoat to my heart, governs my thoughts with one prevalent theme: utter fear.
Nothing seems safe, and courage fails me. And so a coward arcs her back, screaming to the night, as black above as black below:
"When shall I leave this world?!" |
