tipping point
I live on
A precipice
Somewhere between
The light
And the dark
The good and the
Bad
And whatever it
Is
Or was
I sought
Seems to be
Hanging
Just
At the end
Of the next
Bottle
Or cul-de-sac
And I'm sure
I can get there
Find it
Make it
Pinch it
With one more
Go
Or drink
Or visit
Or dime
And everything
Will be
Well
Better?
Different?
Or maybe
It will just be
As is
As was
Or waiting
And
I'll get there
When
I'm ready

I like this - no surprise there - but I'm struggling just a little with the 'precipice' metaphor. I'm not sure it's really what you meant as your poem develops its theme. It's just my opinion, always open to return flack. I'm trusting we are on such a foothold as to make this possible.
