Into the Abyss

One more breath and I shall be over the edge
I stand precariously balanced, between the chasm
And all that I hold dear within me
It is a tenuous line I walk forever balanced
Feeling as though any moment I shall plunge
Into the murky unknown below my feet
Forever falling into a dark abyss
Leaving behind all that is familiar
So I stand poised on this fine line
Striking a balance between who I must be
And the person I want to be
Finding that co-mingling spot
That leads me to the person I am now

I am truly happy with who I am. However, I thought about my days of
sowing my wild oats, and I came up with this whole poem. I have been
led to a wonderful spot in life right now, being both mother and wife.
