How am I to know I've gone too far?
Until I hit the rocks?
Too much of anything will kill me
so what a waste it would be
if I didn't need it.
Yet.
I wait till it's too late.
The clock resets and counts down again.
Without searching for a solution
the problem will continue
over and over and
over and over.
I callous
Each time the rocks cut me
it feels less
perhaps that's just retrospect.

I'm sorry for your struggles dear poet
but if you can feel the rocks
then you still have a chance
to try and crawl back up
'stay' strong! one day at a time
thanks for choosing to share
and letting others know they're not alone
I know this feeling too well, to the point and very well expressed
I've totally been there!
