On the Ledge
Standing on the ledge
Pondering
Devoid plausible options
Unable to continue fighting
Hopeless
Knocked down, yet again
No longer in control
Helpless
Drifting in the current
Abandon on every side
Alone
Support system nonexistent
Unsure of where to turn
Lost
Desiring direction
Coveting deliverance from burdens
Freedom
From overwhelming heaviness
Shattered into vanquished pieces
Longing
To be made whole
Searching for reasons to stay
Contemplating
...leaving the ledge

Very sad :) Sheri
Very well written-been there.
Well written. Thanks for providing insight as to what a person feels like on the edge. Happy to hear this is not written from the perspective of how you are feeling right now.
Very well said, Joy. No, I am not on the ledge or anywhere near it. I was thinking about how those that are must feel and what could drive someone to such a point. I know in spite of how bleak it may appear at times, God will never leave me or forsake me nor allow more on me than I can bear. ;o)

Oops. I should have said the Suicide Hotline.
Depressing. Well written. Mental Health Hotline could help.
