Precipice

Steep, sharp, split, and, as an abandoned architecture, weak How I managed to get to its top, I truly don't know. Fear, frustration, angst, awe, and helplessness were at their peak. Over the sea beneath the cliffs, worn-out yachts slowly row. On whom should I put my faith at this hour of nullity? What a fool am I who could go up and couldn't come down? Amidst tensions and terrors, thrills find no utility. In the circus of existence, have I become a clown? A tinge of pain and despair mingles with my loneliness. Avalanches of aches fill and drill my physique and psyche. I pray to Neptune, Najm, and Xama; crawl down in coolness. Though well-drowned and dead in dread, I touch the fringes of Nike. Each precipice venture is one's inner soul's exploration. Midst the loss of self, there's divine identification.

Oh my, this is a very introspective and thoughtful write, describing the emotional turmoil when the soul feels one the precipice of gloominess.. I really love how you've expressed the angst and ache here, so effortlessly.. And also those ending lines are really evocative.. "Each precipice venture is one's inner soul's exploration" These are words of pure wisdom.. Amazingly crafted, loved reading this.. Best of luck for the contest!
