An Easier Way With a Softer Touch

An easier way with a softer touch
Lighter steps, leave chuckling footprints
Shallower still, until the end of it all

Flight or descent,
Innocently confused,
Instinctually separated

One occurrence
declares a difference
After Another
Boundaries blur

Concentrated caution 
Mind, Gritty like sand
These childish judgments
impart hysterical scars

Soothing or Seething?
Pushing or pulling?
Laughing and crying
living or dying?
