a "fight for your life"

  
 
   
    the edge; one's resting there;  
the pier; one's resting near;  
the ocean; thoughts unclear;  
   
  the silence and despair;  
the question; why's one here;  
subjective atmospheres;  
   
   when naked; death feels near;  
the efforts, disappear....  
the whispers in one's ears;  
the message; appears clear;  
   
  it's best when no one's there;  
the test; goes on for years;  
suppressed, and buried near;  
some quick to call it fear;  
   
depleted; with less air;  
expression; empty stare....
