Precipice
by Carrie Harris

Standing on the precipice
Ready to jump
Waiting to fall
A gentle breeze could push me now
So ready
So ready
Standing on the precipice
Leaning over
Looking down
Nothing to hold me back
Everything to push me forward
Standing on the precipice
Ready to jump
Waiting to fall
Nothing to hold me back
Nothing to hold me back
Stepping forward
Nothing to hold me back
I'm not falling
A gentle hand lifts me
A gentle hand pulls me back
Standing on the precipice, crying
Stepping back
Onto solid ground
A gentle hand lifts me
A gentle hand holds me up
Standing on the precipice
Not jumping
Not falling
A new horizon
A gentle hand lifts me up
Helps me stand
A gentle hand lifts me up
up
up
