The Cliff Of Insanity Poem by Riv Omin

The Cliff Of Insanity

Rating: 5.0

I keep slipping
I'm growing tired of holding on
To a cliff that keeps me awake
It's too hard to climb up
And too easy to fall
I wish to call for help
For me, for others, each closer and farther
But I can't
I can't explain it
It's hard to when your brain is a knot
Tied up then ripped to pieces
I see the doom beneath me
And I laugh a sad chuckle
Knowing if I don't scream, I will fall
I'm wishing you will just look over the edge
Just one peek
Because my voice isn't working
I keep slipping
Down the cliff to insanity
But I want to help the people next to me first
Because I know I'm already gone

I have my doubts about whether or not you want or 'need' psychological intervention, but....in U.S.A. I think 988 is a # to call for suicide counseling. : ) five stars *****

line 7: I don't understand your meaning of 'each closer and farther'. SCREAM for god's sake! ! ! It's nice of you to think of others. ;)

'Just one peak' You are perhaps climbing a 'peak', but you want to 'look' using a 'peek'. ;) Welcome to PH, 'new poet'. bri : )
