i held on to the ledge so tightly
i saw the sludge pooled below
staring back. my ankles dangled
for so long. bracelets slipping
polish chipping god i just want
to fall off and be swallowed
but i can’t let myself let go

This reminds me of feelings I’ve had when hiking in the Colorado mountains. For me, this is also a metaphor for life. The last two lines are so touching. Thanks for a thought-provoking poem.
