On the Brink

on the brink
of insanity
peering over 
the edge
slipping off
this ledge
of uncertainty
terror and dread
adrift in a sea
of anxiety
losing parts of me
no eyes to see
who will i be
unable to know
if i can ever be free
there's never stability
after teetering
on the brink
of insanity

It's an uncomfortable place, anxiety; we can get through it though. Well described.
