Between

A swirling depth inside of me
A precursor to misery
One step, one slip and I’d fall in
Succumbing to the dark within
I’m walking on the crack between
I see the light, I see it gleam
But turn my head and it’s just black
I worry that I won’t come back
To smiles and sun, to feel it warm
Instead I feel a raging storm
I cannot stop these jumbled thoughts
While balancing this line I walk
One sudden change, the slightest shift
Can send me to the deep abyss
Of anger and the pain I’ll find
Lost in my chaotic mind

Hello - welcome to ABC Tales!
Hello - welcome to ABC Tales!
A lot of very strong imagery in this piece, and a persistent rhythm that suits its subject. The theme of balance and imbalance is well depicted, and I liked the contrast between the 'smiles and sun' and the 'raging storm'. The reader's heart goes out to the narrator.
I look forward to reading more of your work!
