On the Brink

by Cuddles   Oct 16, 2006


I'm standing
on the brink of sanity
teetering on the line
trying not to go insane

too much emotional pain

I'm fighting
to hold myself together
to stay in my right mind
to hold tight to my self control

though it's easier to let go

I'm trying
to hold on to something
that's barely even there
holding on to that tiny string of hope

so hard to try and cope

So I'm standing
on the brink of sanity
teetering on the line
wishing I could go numb from it all

lean left and just let myself fall

    Great job! Such an unusual rhyme scheme but it worked great! I have one called Insanity. Lol Don't know if you'd like it or not, but it's similar to yours. Good job!

    I love that last two lines. they are especially powerful. i also like the organization of the poem. its different and it calls attention to those lines. and besides that, it is really great.
