hi tundra. as others have said, watch out for contraction, specially if the first word to the poem.
if i had a main concern it would be the wordiness.
And its difficult to balance a mountain on a stone
Walking blind takes faith
the quotes above read as quotes and not really like lines of a poem. merge the two or see if you can reword them, the same wit some of the other quotes.
if you read Shakespeare's soliloquy in shem's pos, you'll see that he uses a lot of imagery (slings and arrows)or (no sea untroubled)there are a lot more. and he's still able to ask the extended question. he shows us the poem, he doesn't tell us about it.

Especially after one failed attempt

To trip, to hit a wall, to step off the edge,

But how deep is the pit really?
Its an unspeakable place, but is the chance worth it?
You have to trust the executioner,
