How close?

How close do I need to get
until peace is all I feel
No more sting of regret
and no more secrets to conceal
No more aching scars and lonely nights
The end of tears and gruesome fights
How close did I come to the edge
and when did He pull me back?
At times I swayed beyond the ledge
but now I'm closer to the track
Constantly pushing harder to rise
Above the world and all it's lies.
How much closer to happiness am I
When I just live and let go
let the pieces stay where they may lie
and stop planning a future I hardly know
Smile, laugh, and just be free
A solution to which most agree
How much further must I go
till I can say I'm not just close;
I've made it home.
