I stand upon the precipice of a new dawn;
another chance to do things better,
to make headway against my base nature.

I walk that sharp edge between past and future, hesitating,
waiting,
wondering.

All it will take is a step.
A short footfall to begin the rapid decent
downward into the new.

I stand upon this thin, thin line,
looking,
staring,
wondering.

From here it's hard to tell
which way is forward,
and which way is back.

And so I go...
