Life's Edge

As we walk on the knifes edge of life not wanting to fall into 
The depth of despair.

We no longer look forward but we are concerned about the past and other people's lives. 

We walk in straight lines while being nudged and pushed 
From above the side and behind. 

But only we can falter by our own choices and what we as humans control. 

The path we walk is very narrow and not straight with curves 
And bends. 
Sometimes you have to go back to go forward. 
So continue on with the knowledge that you will eventually 
Arrive  at your destination.
