Internal Suffering

A poem I wrote when battling and almost losing to depression made worse by death of a loved one.

So..please tell me...

what do you think?

Should I jump..

or stand here, waiting on the brink.

Of sanity that has so

dragged me here..

to the very edge of a cliff

where I fear.

For my life that I risk

waiting here for my doom,

and yet..alone I stand

waiting here in this room..

This chasm, this chamber!

this bottomless pit!

Full of agony, and anger

and I feel this is it.

This is where I belong,

where I'm welcomed, and kept.

Standing here on this floor

where I've lain, where I've wept,

till my cheek was soaked

by my puddle of tears

this place is my home,

and has been so for years.

I'm losing it, my grip,

to escape my own mind.

The thoughts that

have torn, and left scars behind.

It is now this decision

that will soon be my fate,

but I must decide

before it's too late!

So..please tell me...

what do you think?

Should I jump..

or stand here, waiting on the brink...
