The Edge

Edge?
A weird place to be.
Caving in all of everything around you.
Coping? Trying to at least.
Everything on top, pushing in, stifling, claustrophobic, manic.
A feeling of running away in your head.
Your head and mind running faster than you can keep up with.
A dizziness and light headedness.
A white cupboard,
A phone box.
Ring, rine, ring,
The voice of a loved one - reminds you that reality is still there -
Somewhere.
White plastic, blue label, screw top -
Safety.
Shake it;echoes of a rattle.
Break it
Find the pleasure
The comfort in the rattle
The cushion -
Of the hardness of what noise can turn into.
Softness, floating
Going, going,
Gone.
