The Edge of Reason
THE EDGE OF REASON
Absolutely no fault
on my earnest effort.
Yet failed! Suffered a lot.
Just to gain
Stress and strain.
Even being competent,
not to get right judgement
but to hurt sentiment.
Tight corner!
Heart- burner.
All attempts went in vain.
Stood on one leg as crane.
Turned invalid insane.
Hard to bear.
Only fear.
Reasoning did not work.
Intellect failed to spark.
Disappointment gave jerk.
Neither help,
nor escape.
Edge of reasoning breaking,
Strong confidence shaking,
Danger overtaking.
No outlet!
So! Accept.
