Shelf

Shelf Out of the way and on display Beautiful delicate sit and stay Imagine you on the shelf You there by yourself Watching all the people go by Tripping falling colliding die You there safe and sound On your shelf looking around No risk taken as you dangle your feet Do you stay till the end? Walk into your grave or slide in sideways Option B for me tripping falling colliding die

To live life is our greatest adventure. If we don't take it and only watch from the sidelines were not living. I would rather live. Great poem.

A lot of truth in this, we can choose to sit on the shelf, safe and sound, or we can take chances and live life! Love this Niall. Hope you're ok. come say hello?

I liked this piece a lot... I can connect to your frame of thoughts... The more you watch people the more you learn that the cause of our problems is just us... I read this piece of your 4 times... very nice... we are falling...
