There Is a Cliff

I have one thousand eyes There are two on my head Nine hundred ninety-five in my mind Three of them are dead Two see a screen Ten see a light Five see a glass Moonshine or insight I have two voices One rests in my lungs One covers my heart Squeeze the ba-dum One speaks so quiet It is asked to speak up One screams to the abyss That it will never give up I have six legs Two lay so still Two hold me up Two aim to kill Two legs find a ledge Two eyes follow, stiff One voice tells my conscious "There is a cliff."

Fascinating writing style, I hope some of those legs continue to hold you up and some of those eyes continue to see the beauty in the world and one of the voices tells you cliffs are for contemplating what's important but don't get too close

Thank you so much. I will be cautious when approaching any cliffs in my life, and I hope you will be as well. I appreciate you!
