standing at the edge of the world
sometimes she feels like she is standing on the edge of a cliff...she just wants to scream, 'what the fuck?' but she doesn't get to scream, it's 10:30 at night and there is a child asleep in the next room. besides, her in-laws are here. even if they weren't, she still doesn't get to scream.
she is a mother, a wife, a daughter, and a sister. she has to show up for work in the morning. she doesn't get to scream. she doesn't get to curl her toes over the edge of this ledge and imagine what it would be like to fly. she has too many people depending on her. did she ask for them all? does it really matter if she did? here they are just the same.
she knows she can never walk away. she knows she will never walk away. but will her life ever be her own?

Your life is how you perceive it. Your life is how you live it. I'll always love you and keep you in my mind. Even when we don't talk for days you're in my thoughts. When life feels like that, it's time for starlight and tears. Or maybe just a drink with a friend.
fuz - gee could you be a little more cynical!! ;)
shado - i love you, you are such a romantic! no where's that drink?
