Introspection

Sometimes I find myself at the edge
I look back, and compare
What did I do..
How did I fare..

I find a question killing me
Burning me to ashes..
Why didn't I dare ..
Too much of thinking..
and needless extra care

Oh..
I knew it was so rare
Still I let it slip away
That wasn't fair

Now I'll have to live with it..
Moments of emptiness and loony dispair
Sadly, it's all of my own making..
So I can't escape even my own stare.
