Borderline

A Poem by NelliKong

Borderline

I borderline life with is pen… I don’t know where it ends or where it begins… I try to look deeper and within, but instead of finding light it’s more darkness, which makes it even more grim.

I border this line between grace and insanity… my thoughts scream at me with profanity…. They pull me closer to the brink with full force like gravity.

This line is bordering my weight with every step that I take… god I hope it doesn’t break…. I don’t know how much more I can take… bordering between everything is great and everything is now at stake.

No I’m not schizophrenic… but things just don’t seem picture clear…I guess I’m not photogenic… the more I breathe in this negativity and depression it just becomes more carcinogenic… I try to escape the madness of the world but without the side effects of a hallucinogenic.

Borderline… a thin line between I can’t anymore and that I’m fine… maybe I just need a little more time… god I hate bordering this line, just to cry and die inside… instead of trying to border this line I need to either stay or see what’s on the other side.

This is becoming too much to bare and harder to hold on, this borderline just has to finally go.

Your poem is a powerful and moving expression of the struggles of living on the edge, and the emotional turmoil that can come with it. The use of vivid imagery, such as the thin line between grace and insanity, creates a sense of both fragility and resilience, while the repetition of the idea of "borderline" adds a touch of desperation and urgency. Your words convey a sense of both vulnerability and strength, and the final lines, "this borderline just has to finally go," are both heartbreaking and inspiring. Your poem is a testament to the power of the human spirit to persevere in the face of adversity, and to the importance of seeking help when we need it.
