The in between stage,
The moment of uncertainty.
You are on the ledge,
But you haven't decided
Whether you want to be in safety,
Or fall into the unknown.

I treasure it,
Even though most hate it.

You don't ever stay long,
And you haven't done anything,
to permanently change yourself.
It could be little things,
it could be big things.
But every decision has a consequence,
So I choose to enjoy the times,
Where you have nothing to possibly loose.
You are in a way comfortable,
because you are doing exactly what you feel,
At that moment.
Nothing has influenced you to make a decision,
You are free.
