Embrace the Line

It’s my sanity fight that rages day and night. Darkness descends on me, gray hardness suspends me, then chokes me in its spree. My mind and emotions fatigue from erosions that my own existence seems unable to out distance. Crazy takes energy worthy of a sad elegy. I flirt with this fine line, for escape seems divine. Time nudges my step closer - to do it, go on and cross over. When I stray towards insane, I loudly hear my apt brain stressing simply and plain, do not pine for that line! I must battle pain’s drain so my heart may contain refusal and thus decline such a real life exit line.
