Sometimes I Wonder

You think you can get it 
straight 
You just can't get it right 
Your goals lost sight 
Failure is an understate

There's not much you can do
You try another angle
A force is against you 
On a thread you dangle

You reach;you hold on
To any thing stable
You pull yourself up 
And cause a disrupt

Every action has a reaction
Ever number a fraction 
When you lift yourself up in 
that fashion 
There is a subtraction

You take life from what you 
grasp onto,seal it with a kiss
You couldn't handle what you 
had to do,taking was not your 
wish 
You just wanted to be ok
You never thought you would 
hurt people this way
