Crossing Bridges and Finishing Lines

So many lines

And bridge's 

Throughout my short life

I have already burnt and crossed 

These are but a few I dare mention 

Equator
Latitude
Longitude
Cancer
Capricorn
Meridian
Parallel 

Sand
Time
Right
&
Wrong
Or
Down 

So many others I have forgot 

To the point the only line and
bridge I fear may be left

Is the Finishing 1

That is why more in desperation
than in hope

I keep a pair a pair of scissors on
my person in my pocket 

Just incase I hit or run into a brick wall

And block's my final crossing be
that bridge or line

I spent my whole life knowing death is WAY easier than life. To live is the biggest challenge. Death is easy - and it still whispers in my ear too.
