From the precipice, I see the path
I've trodden, painted with dry blood drops
And the sweet smell of tears and sweat
How far I've come, but I do remember
Exactly where the pine greeted me with scorn
The shallow puddles, the sallow haze
Where the rattlesnake rustled through heaps of leaves
Where I crossed rainbows and raging rapids
Only to trek through more and more
Where I paused and wondered
Where I walked and wandered
I am no longer, but I know, and I will remember
Written 12th April, 2022.

Author's Annotations
This poem, like its title suggests, is a poem written through a stream-of-consciousness strategy. It is an introspective poem wherein the narrator looks back at everything he's passed through to reach where he is now. The poem is also a simple vow to his future self that he will never forget the lessons of the past.
