Edge of Collapse

Standing on the edge, can't breathe, can't move,

One step away from losing all I knew.

Heart racing fast, pulse in my head,

Every thought spinning, chaos widespread.

Can't slow down, can't find my peace,

Every wall built starts to crack, release.

I'm balancing fragile, one wrong step,

Closer to falling, nothing left.

I'm on the edge of collapse,

Holding tight, trying not to relapse.

Pressure building, walls closing in,

One step closer, I'm falling again.

Every noise louder, drowning in sound,

Searching for silence nowhere to be found.

Hands keep shaking, vision unclear,

Caught between numbness, panic, and fear.

I'm balancing fragile, one wrong step,

Closer to falling, nothing left.

I'm on the edge of collapse,

Holding tight, trying not to relapse.

Pressure building, walls closing in,

One step closer, I'm falling again.

Gravity pulling, I'm losing control,

Can't keep pretending, can't play the role.

Every moment harder, slipping fast,

Afraid of breaking, haunted by my past.

Edge of collapse, trembling hands,

Moments from shattering, alone where I stand.

I'm on the edge of collapse,

Holding tight, trying not to relapse.

Pressure building, walls closing in,

One step closer, I'm falling again.

Standing on the edge, breathing slow,

Can I step back, or should I let go?
