Edge of Reason.

To everyone who has every had to make a big decision..

 It’s time for right or left now.

It’s time for this or that.

I’ve got to change up everything,

Or choose to stay right where I’m at.

 

I don’t know what’s north or south now.

I can’t tell what’s sight or sound.

Should I still be happy?

Or all ashamed and looking down..

 

So, Don’t nudge me, don’t prod me.

Don’t play God to me,

Because it’s already in his hands.

Please don’t push me.

I’m already at the edge.

 

I can see off of the cliff now,

Know I will fall or I will fly.

There’ll be joy and there’ll be pain.

Either way, I’m gonna cry.

 

There are no pros and cons here,

Only clouds above my head

The rocks and trees all everywhere

Show me I’m real close to dead.

 

So, Don’t nudge me, don’t prod me.

Don’t play God to me,

Because it’s already in his hands.

Please don’t push me.

I’m already at the edge.

 

I am losing my footing,

The world’s spinning ‘round,

Standing on choices I’m given,

Like they are the ground.

 

It’s really like quicksand,

A place I can’t stay,

But the colors have changed into silence

And the noises have faded to gray.

 

I’m still waiting for the hue of truth,

I look for it in the night.

Just a whisper in my ear,

To tell me what I do is right.

 

So don’t nudge me, don’t prod me.

That is for God and Me

And I’ve left it in his hands.

Only he can save me,

When I’m this close to the edge.

The rhyme and flow of words in this piece is excellent! Sometimes life can really feel like you're standing off a cliff. This one is also clever and witty in a way.
