Standing on the edge
The waves crash against the rocks, breaking
Mixing in with my insecurities
Behind me, the screaming continues
Polarized, dehumanizing, soul crushing
The rage in the wolves only grows
One side has poison dripping from their thoughts
While the other side stands like statues
A sterilized last line of defense
The crashing waves bring me back
And doubt pokes at my mind
Locking my feet into concrete
It’s now or never—the waves or the wolves
When I jump,
the calm ocean widens my eyes

I’d opt for the waves, too. Well done.
