-On the Edge-
sitting upon the edge of a dream
i got lost, and in between
i lost the will to live
i lost the taste of love
i lost the bite of a person
standing on the top of the end
i found life's meaning again
i got lost within
i found the smell of a lie
such a subjugated being was i
living around the edge
i asked
i cried
i passed
sleeping below the ridge
i dreamt of what all is
i didn't try before
i didn't soul explore
i didn't get lost between
and forgot to stand on the edge of a dream

carolinadreams,
I'm sorry you forgot to stand at the edge of a dream. I believe we need dreams to live.
Great poem.
Be well

Recently i totally lost the will to do anything.  I literally just went limp for a few days and didn't talk to anyone, didn't do ANYTHING.

Thats why I particularly loved your beginning lines:
"sitting upon the edge of a dream
i got lost, and in between
i lost the will to live
i lost the taste of love
i lost the bite of a person
standing on the top of the end"

you wrote all the things i wanted to say with a skill i dont believe i quite have yet...

i look forward to reading more of your writings,
Love,
Ipek
