No Way Back

Have you ever been so close
to a nervous breakdown
that you knew there
were certain things
you could never do
or it would put you
over the edge?

And if you dared
get any closer you
would slip over
the ledge.

And there would be
no way back to
solid ground
until you paid
the full price
of a nervous
breakdown.

(big hugggssssss) Oh James, this is wonderfully heartfelt, sweet friend, I too have had these breakdowns but just always take a deep breath and keep going forward as it is good to move on with hope! (sigh) This is excellent, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet James, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Yes, oh yes, I have.  You did a great job painting a picture of being right there on the "edge".
