what has happened to our life
what has happened to the skinny little shy girl with plaits
what has happened to sunshine and rain
what has happened to her
why did she become us
why are we so broken so afraid


there is another fear
a fear that freezes our body and our breath
just fear the feeling of complete fear
even now it halts us
we are stopped by it

we are stopped by being us
too many too much
or frozen and all of us muted at once
our mouths muted
our minds muted


unable to move
no known path

these words all we can do
to tell how we sit here
or stand
or lie
on the edge of the world

we learnt to breathe silently
such a long long time ago
and still

if we sleep
we will wake
and it will be tomorrow


we are scared of tomorrow

Hello Walker,

first poem I have read here, your words, move, very emotional responses. Thank you, for writing and sharing, from there, the 'edge of the world'....

Well wishes, moonbeam beth.
