Life
I walk on this path
Set out for me
Afraid to stumble
Terrified to fall
For if I do
The result could mean
More pain
Or even death
For this path
Resembles my life
And every time I stumble
I cut myself
Once more
And if I fall
To the ground-exhausted
Because I can’t take any more
Weight on my shoulders
My life will end
For I will have taken
My last breath
Giving death
So you see
I walk on this path
Of mine
With the stress of life
Weighing on my shoulders
Tempting me to stumble
Wanting me to fall
But I stop
Take a breath
And take one more step
