ALTOPHOBIA-(from the Greek word:ἄκρον,ákron, meaning "peak, summit, edge" andφόβος,phóbos, "fear") is an extreme or irrational fear or phobia of heights.

I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.

---Frank Herbert

On my highest point

You left me there

You thought you helped me,

Raised me, made me

You killed me

How do I get down

You keep telling me to jump,

To trust you,

You'll catch me

I've never been this high before

You tricked me,

Blinded me,

Made me think it was ok

Ok, I trust you

You love me

I'll jump

The air is so hard

You give me an encouraging smile

The ground is getting closer

Closer still

Then you smirk

A devious smile

I can't believe it!

You tricke-...
