As My World Turns

The world around me
   Cracking
     Eroding
      Falling away

All that remains are fragments
   Hopes
    Dreams
     Of what used to be

Walking on tip ties
  Balancing
    Teetering
      Barely hanging on

Feeling the need to let go
  Release
    Freedom
     To finally feel whole
