Cliff-Hangingconformity

.. must self-worth perilously 
   hang on to a cracking crag..

         crag  that is slowly loosening 
         off  the edge of a crumbling cliff..

               cliff of other people's opinion,
               dangerously above the rocks..

                     rocks of subjective humiliation,
                     actually, self-perceived oblivion .. ?
