I am standing, <br />on the edge, <br />of an abyss, <br />looking down, <br />into the darkness. <br />I've been here <br />so long. <br />How does a person turn? <br />Walk away? <br />I cannot! <br />I've been pulled away, <br />Twice, <br />By others. <br />Now, I'm alone, <br />Back on the edge, <br />Staring into the abyss, <br />Hypnotized by the coming night. <br />Why do I waver? <br />Only one reason, <br />Fear! <br />I am a coward!<br /><br />Bob and Alex Eichen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-brave-man-stands/
