Perpetual bliss in the form of freedom on the edge of the world
Standing on the edge of the world
looking down
one tear escapes my eye
I watch it fall, then disappear
thinking about jumping
what goes up, must come down
the notion quickly passes
I begin twirling on the edge of the world
powerful and powerless all in the same moment
letting go of the sides of my dress so the wind blows through
spinning, yet never once feeling dizzy
bare feet gliding across the edge effortlessly
on the edge, I am alone but in control of everything
I could, I should, but I wont
I am in charge of myself, no one around me to fear
dancing on the edge for the world to see
living on the edge
finally feeling free
looking down
one tear escapes my eye
I watch it fall, then disappear
thinking about jumping
what goes up, must come down
the notion quickly passes
I begin twirling on the edge of the world
powerful and powerless all in the same moment
letting go of the sides of my dress so the wind blows through
spinning, yet never once feeling dizzy
bare feet gliding across the edge effortlessly
on the edge, I am alone but in control of everything
I could, I should, but I wont
I am in charge of myself, no one around me to fear
dancing on the edge for the world to see
living on the edge
finally feeling free

I really liked this, inveterate logophile that I am this brought to mind that higher place to which we all aspire .... But I don't worry, because I'm sitting on top of the world (Chester Burnett)

I feel sometimes, that only when we are pushed to the edge of abyss do we find the strength to refuse to fall into it... liked it very much :)

When you live on the edge you make decisions and don't look back, so satisfying, sadly enough I haven't the courage to free myself, I stay lain on the floor so that I don't fall down.
I thank you for another piece of your mind. it was delicius.
