I stood on the edge of an epiphany,
Trying to choose between a peace of mind
And my own serenity.
But I swore to give it all for my kind,
Swore to swallow the burning jealousy.
I swung my foot over the emptiness.
You told me to hold back.
No, I do not sell my selfishness.
You do not own whatever I lack.
Meet me at the end of this precipice
So we can fall towards the soothing black.
