The Edge of Tomorrow

Today i feel
i am on the edge
of the world
just hanging on

i feel the earth
shaking beneath my feet
as it tilts out of
its circuit

my life seems so
small
and death seems
a welcome distraction

there i am
hanging by a thread
and no one is there
to hope in me

but what do i seek
and where can it be found
in my lonely desparation
the rain washes my tears

my hopes and fears
till another day
when i might believe
in another place

i feel the earth spin
faster and faster
but all i can do now
is hold onto tomorrow
