some aren't stable-
watch your step now.

We coagulate underfoot,
falling away without sound
back into a struggling ocean
that clamors to support your feet.

You're running full sprint, trying to escape 
ascending higher and higher, cresting the peek of your wave
reduced to a needle slicing at clouds.

We understand, it's hard up there
and there is no escaping us,
so come down please,
settle the ocean,
find peace,
die.

I like this work. There are some grammatical errors. Should 'you can tread us' be written as 'you can tread on us'? I liked the line, 'falling away without sound'. As I feel it to be visual in written expression. 'reduced to a needle slicing at clouds' seems to be a little confusing, don't needles pierce? I think this is all the critique I have to offer.
