Intro:
Edge of the Self is a minimalist poem reflecting on the boundaries of identity and self-exploration. It captures the experience of reaching the limits of one’s understanding and the journey of pushing beyond.

Poem:
i’ve walked to the edge,
to the thin line where i end,
and the unknown begins.

there, the self dissolves,
a shadow on air,

and what’s left is neither me,
nor nothing.
