Life On The Edge
By Jaded Jezzabelle
This was written after I had a dream about my Grandpa on his death
bed telling my mother that I (me)will live my life on the edge but I'll
never fall off...yeah right....I was his favorite.....
"She'll live life on the edge but she'llnever fall off"
Thats what the old man said
A life taken to extream is what he forseen
and
I guess something always told me
that I would live this way
but
I've got to say
I thought it would be more fun
getting spun
A life spent on the run
Does he watch from his perch up above
Eyes filled with love
Over the edge he said I'd never fall
that I'd catch myself
and
break my sprall
Yet
It seems to me I fell
in a down ward spiral
I propel
Reaching out for every life line that I'm tossed
and
I come to realize all the ones I've lost
The old man whispers to me to pray
to ask the lord to help me find my way
He takes my hand
Grabs hold of a cord
I pull on it hard
Then my shoot opens up
with not a moment to spare
and
Iam reminded of all the people who care
The ones who will be there
when I run out of time
Thoses who give mw
my reason to rhyme
and
I know I should tell them
While I still have a chance
that
They are the music
to which I will dance
that
life with out them
would have been so mch harder
and
Its for them
I will strive to go farther
that
I love them more than they cold ever know
and
I'm sorry for not letting
my true feelings
show
