Over the Edge...

It’s like I’m grasping

for that edge, the knife

of life that can bring back

all that was lost.

It’s like I’m an empty

space, like I’m just an

object left for people

to stare at.

They laugh at me,

berate me and put

me down. All just cruel

games of torture.

It tears me up inside,

but I know I can’t let

that weakness, that flaw

show.

If I do, they’ll use it

against me, bring all the

pain out, the haunting

memories.

A person is a fool to become a writer. His only compensation is absolute freedom. He has no master except his own soul, and that, I am sure, is why he does it.
— Roald Dahl
