Unfolding

I unfold my soul straddled on razor sharp edge.

Life is shoving me relentlessly over bottomless abyss.

Searching aimlessly for the hidden periphery

of insanity, I hastily gather it into pockets of my mind,

throwing meaningless words into yawning mouth.

Top spinning round and round hits a brick wall,

hiding on teetering verge of throbbing madness,

hovering on the fringe of where I was yanked,

trying to avoid being pummeled by reality.

One half hangs over the ledge, trapped in

a void consumed by unhappy endings.

As I watch the frantic rise and fall of my chest,

cracks in my faint heart swallow me whole.
