Out On The Fringe

 Out on the fringe
there are no easy roads;

they all look the same,

words become blurred,
friends become foes,
and no one knows the darkness,
no one understands the loss;

no one sees the damage.

Out on the fringe
babies die before they are born,
seeds are destroyed before they
have taken root,
thorns choke
without compassion or mercy,
players die without ever
getting in the game;

everything is lost.

Out on the fringe
failure is not an option,
it is a guarantee;
still there is the hope,
waiting for the change,
holding on to the possibility;

all things are possible
for You;

even this.
