Lying On Edges Of Reality Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Life is lying on edges of reality, looking over, desire
rising wanting to fall off and put it to rest once and
for all.

All excitement and anticipation have fallen through the
cracks of loss, leaving me derelict and in a shambles.

Having no power to reel self in again, failing to exist
within the boundaries of life.

Looking forward to nothing, for emptiness has stepped
into everything's space, where hope and happiness used
to reign.

Now being a lifeless ragdoll, no stamina or purpose,
having disappeared from the edges of reality where I had
been lying, and now do so no more.
