Sitting on the edge
Of a cool swimming pool
Her feet submerged
Into the deep waters

It was like sitting on the edge
Of sanity and insanity
So close she could just dive in
Yet she could just walk away

Behind her a beautiful meadow
Representing life and hope
In front of her deep waters
Representing her every struggle and fear

One would think that
She could get up and walk
Toward the green pastures
And dwell in all its glory

But she is submerged knee-deep
Into a quicksand of fear
And waves of every struggle
That hold her in their grasp

All she can do is
Look back at the meadow
Or drown in the waves
Never allowed to move from the edge
