Have you ever been
to the edge of the world,
where everything inside you
screams to go back,
warning that you have ventured too far,
but something pushes you
forward, past the walls
of fear and self doubt,
past the well-worn path
that would guide your retreat,
into the truly unknown,
where not even the smell
of something familiar
lingers in the air?
I have once been
to the edge of the world,
and it freed my soul.
