The Cliffside

By Prisha Manchanda

The mesmerizing sky is all around me
The gentle breeze of serenity
Captivated I cannot be
by this amenity

I stand on this jagged cliff
Balancing the edge
Between permanent relief
and living death

This edge is all-consuming
The tightrope of life
The dilemma of choosing
a torturous being, or permanent respite
