A force of gravity brings me down,
Just like the words that spin round my head.
An invisible hand pulls me back;
I'm frozen with eyes shut and mouth sewn.

Hmm. I get the angst, the whirlwind of thoughts and feelings spinning around the person. then the hend coming it seems almost like the hand of God or a loving person, coming to the rescue. But becaues of the last line, maybe the "hand" is not a good thing, not "pulling him back from the brink" but in fact keeping him down.
Interesting poem with different interpretations. Thanks for entering my contest and letting me read it!
