Flirting With The Edge

Ten seconds a way from a mental meltdown

Some days falling over the edge

Seems so appealing

Jumping head first

Without a net

And no bungee cord

To keep you from hitting the bottom hard

Just floating

Free falling down

Experiencing an eternity in seconds

And ending up mangled and broken

Till your physical matches your mental disposition

I flirt with the edge of sanity

Touching insane

Here and there

Becoming one with  emotionally disturbed

Living dangerously close to crazy

The balance doesn't work

I sit right here

Breaking up and breaking down

Watching my screws come loose

Who needs an elevator that goes to the top floor anyway?

*Smiles

I don't want to play this game anymore

Let me live in obscurity

Bouncing off the walls in my mind

Padding with old junk

And a discarded heart~
