Limbo

Limbo

In limbo

Stretched across the black,

Bottomless canyon.

Oh God! What if I fall?

Childhood is a silent time

When the world

Is new and green

And a kitten's heartbeat

Is the magic of life.

In the fury of

Battle

Tears well up to glisten in

My eyes

"Why can't you act like

An adult?!" cuts through the air.

Sorry,

We need someone

With experience.

Crystal snowflakes

Burn and freeze.

It is so hard to embrace

The past

While reaching to hold on

To cling to my dreams.

I hope I never consider

Myself "grown-up."

My life -

Is in 

Limbo,

As I wait

For something

To happen.

In truth, 

Nothing will happen.

Unless -

I create

something.

My destiny may be planned;

But 

If I do nothing 

To make my dreams come true,

Then my destiny 

Will never happen.

Taking that first step 

into the unknown,

Taking the leap of faith.

Knowing someone

Will be there to catch me

Before I fall.

If I do not take that step

Into the great unknown,

I will never know

What could have been.

What should have been.

What might have been.

If I would have stayed 

In Limbo.
