Crossing the bridge

Crossing the bridge
I've made it half way
It hasn't been easy
I struggle each day

But today I sat down
And I cling to the rope
I am out there alone
And somehow lost hope

So which way do I go
Is it forward or back
Or sit here and wait
For the strength that I lack

I want to run back
To my empty, dark place
Where I'm lonely, but safe
You can't see my  face

But I've made it so far
If I run back and hide
Then I'll never know
What's on the other side

It's got to be better
After such a long fight
Behind me is darkness
Ahead I see light

So I'll slowly stand up
Hanging on to the rope
I'll look back with sadness
Then continue ahead with hope
