Matt Caliri Poet Free verse

Edge As Despair

I get the feeling that people are telling me to step back from the edge.
I don’t know where to start with people anymore.

I get the feeling there is no edge.
I usually start with my eyes though my heart is a sinking ship.

I am apprehensive over writing this in a first-person narrative.
I get the feeling I’m telling myself to step back from the edge.
