The Precipice

Climbing higher and higher
To reach that precipice
I've been yearning for so long.

When I reach that peak,
I'm left only to see
The emptiness inside of me.

I've been searching
In all of the wrong places
For any trace of who I am.

We aren't only made of
Our successes and mistakes,
But the grey areas in between.

Don't let your past
Tell you who you are to be.
Create your own path to tread.

Lead the adventure
That is your very own life.
Don't look back.
