Abyss

Suddenly I found myself looking down, at the abyss,
How did I get here?
I did not realize, I was coming here
I thought I was walking towards greener pastures.

If it was not for the knotting in my gut,
I would have walked over the edge.

On the cliff edge, as I stood, thinking,
I couldn’t recognize, what took me there
Whether it was my naive optimism or the death drive.
