Living On the Edge

“Wow, life”! Always in the proper order organized and determined to stay intact. Step by step rules with regulations and all judged with such strict order. And all of this is what’s focused on me? My, My! What a revelation in front of me a definite soul searching moment indeed. Walking the plank I can see death before my eyes and visions with just way too many lacks. I step further in to grasp this concept presented so directly in front of me. Ha! A life with nothing but clearly lots of undistinguished metaphors! My, my living on the edge, Risky it may be but it encourages the will in me to succeed! “Life”! Ruled by the throne of ethical, morals, and values, Condensed all into one challenging the best of my integrity! Step by step an opinion is drawn or the matter disregarded at hand, And all of this challenged by me! My, My! What visions are in front of me a time to expect the unexpected my constant need! Playing Russian roulette with a loaded gun, firm and adamant I maintain all of my dignity. Pushing further for results to stimulate an aura I capture a much higher demand! My, my living on the edge, Risky it may be but it examines these laws that strive so hard to be! “Wow, life”! Expectations meant for perfection encourage the best of me over and over again. Step by step blueprints are calculated, analyzed and specified by the finest details. And all of this is what’s focused on me? My, My! What examples are set before me a moment to test my own integrity! Sink or swim? A desperate moment I recognize and exemplify as purely sublime. Getting closer and closer to the seed itself the core is mine to unravel and reveal! My, my living on the edge, Risky it may be but it’s argumentative from all that I can see. “Life”! A yes or a no, but never a maybe and all before my time so it seems! Step by step a path has been laid before me all engraved in gold or stone. Most definitely a challenge for my authenticity! My, my what a grip on me, a chance to acknowledge what it is that I believe? Suffocated by these laws that be, I’m caught in the rapture of my finest dreams. I step further in to grasp the concept presented so proudly before me, A challenge I care to defy on the Royal Throne! My, my living on the edge, Risky it may be but I know what I believe and I truly believe in what’s in the best of me, And that my friend is strictly my authenticity!
