My Life

My life is but a wheel
Rolling down a steep hill
Never to slow down 
And never to speed up
keeping the pace of time
Sometimes it doesn't even seem
I'm moving it seems  
My life is at a holt 
Has been brought to a stop
By the path I have chosen
Cracks and bumps fill the road 
I roll on my cuts and bruises
leaving me with nothing but scars to show 
For the life I've lived

Everyone choses thier own path or road .Sometimes not the easiest.Heartfelt emotions ,laid bare here,from the heart the best place.Always nice to have someone to help you steer ,ansd avoid the potholes of life.........Jim

Powerful write, impressive material here, I like the flow of words and the directness of how you describe your life. You work is strengthening, keep it up, I really enjoyed your word use, this poem flows like something I would have penned. Great job...Raul
