#16 of 2021 Mental Health Crisis


Wires and tightropes and catches oh my,

my heart can't withstand the pain;

Wires and tightropes and things I despise,

my mind can't withstand the rain.

Of intrusive thoughts, of intrusive acts

my mind will always toward-slip.

And yet, even still, I'm here and around

and never my life I will quit.

Of dangers and horror I know far too much

to cross the waters of Styx

I have too much left, too far to swim,

to let death finally stick.
