Another Wasting Day
Another day, I find another fault
Tightrope walking sanity's line.
Staring in the mirror, judging I cry
I can't imagine, I will ever change
Too far set, in terrible ways
Once again, start over,
And, I lose myself.
Another day, new beginnings I start
Crossing back and forth with insanity
I can't imagine, Life ever easy
Too late, I think, to start again
Possessed everything one needs in life,
In a frenzied blur, I gave everything away
The ashes of my life, scattered and gray
Another day, Another chance for death
I think to myself, I reached life's peak
Only upon reaching the top, to painfully leap
life flashing fluttered in scattered frames.
Then, in my final second before death,
I Painfully wondered, What if I'd stopped
simply holding position, atop the peak.
For nothing more, but to enjoy the view.
