on the edge of this earth i stand.
with flowers braided in my hair
and emptiness flowing though my hand.
i step on that last step,
look down through the clouds and see
my life, my love, i breathe in ecstasy.
I lift my head, extend my arms,
accept the light, the ether,
her elation, his harm.
shall i leap? can i fly?
i do, i can't, this risk is damned.
i fall and bleed, lay naked in the sand.
i feel my body hurt, but am still whole.
alive, continuously a child
i'll still love with this heart, risk with this soul.
i continue to run away,
maybe one day i'll stay.
but i am just one, one, one girl
to run through, against, and with this entire world.
