Nervous Breakdown – Written Monday 13th February 2006 (Aged 30)

Nervous Breakdown

we are just a fingertip away –
from the edge
and we are all too close –
to a nervous breakdown
we are all expected –
to take on board –
what other people say
we are all here together
but some are starting to sway
my mental health –
has always asked a question –
one which has played on my mind
though i know –
the answer i will never find
we are all just a short step
from falling down –
the bottomless well –
the one with unheard sounds
we are all tragically close –
to a nervous breakdown
some choose to cover their ears
and ignore the sound
but i know i am a fingertip away
from a nervous breakdown
