*I am nothing on the edges* *where the land has slipped away* *where my soul is but* a t h i n b l a c k l i n e *afraid to* *even pray* *I am nothing* *there* but 'banshee's howl' ( screaming ghoulish fray) on the edges I am nothing yet still I cling ...I stay. In the middle...I am different THERE my feet are firm and I try to sprout out beauty and I try to build and learn and The Start ? It is a safe foothold lifting me to dreams and it is the place I skip and laugh and strive for better things but,the edges, like a magnet draw grit from weaker beings so **I'm nothing on the edges where my world has slipped away where my soul is but a t h i n b l a c k l i n e struggling just to pray, I am nothing there but banshee howls (of screaming ghoulish fray) on the edges, I am NOTHING, yet still ...I cling...and stay. fOOTNOTE: Just an exercise in fictional writing ! lOVE TO ALL.**
