Fringes

I live on the fringes
I hide in the dark
My home is in alleyways
or deep in the park

I breathe contradiction
The web of my words
are born for confusion
I am the absurd

I’ll never be like you
We are not the same
You’re just some dear kindling
while I am the flame

I live on the fringes
I’ll never be seen
You’re here in the moment
while I’m in between

About Helen

I'm drawn to blogging as a way to share ideas and consider what makes us who we are. Whether it's in our working life or our creativity, expression is a means to connect.
