The Real Edge

Screaming from the edge, holding onto fringe, grasping,

Clasping, crawling over dead, reaching inward to the core.

Comfort once attained will not be given up.

Family ties and safety lines secure the few that run

Out to the edge, wanting to be heroes.

When things get ugly, they will be pulled back in.

The unseen warriors are those with no lines or ties.

They are risking everything; they have no choice.

It is fight or die for them.

My name is Katherine J. Krein. I lost my father in June of 2013, and then I lost my mother in November of the same year. After they both died I went through a mind-warping number obsession that has taken me years to control. This is my story. It is now 2025. I still use this site to post some poems and thoughts. My obsession has faded, however, I still notice the numbers. Faith, hope, and love is what guides me now.
