J Poem - Precipice

Precipice

A fear
Lurking deep in my guts
Send shivers through my spine
But not my mind
It gnawed at my very flesh
And then it got to my brain
Or mind
Or brain
Or mind
Or brain

No wheelchairs for emotional cripples
Ridden in a bed of fear
Hell if they do
And hell if they don't
They tell me limbo is no more
But I know different
Burning in the flames of hell
Is something
Quivering on the precipice
Quivering on and on
Is much worse
Fact or fiction
Hope and love
Remains to be seen
