Almost like flying an airplane, only you're on the ground with the controls.

Falling, falling,
I hear my soul calling.
It's screaming out, "keep yourself in the air,
You know at times life just isn't fair."
You didn't create it,
you only have to learn to live it.


You can't disrespect,
then expect respect!
not even from self.


There are certain rules in life that can't be neglected,
so they must be perfected.
Your soul and your heart,
will only be torn apart.


At the end of misuse,
you'll find abuse,
then you'll need an excuse.
Excuses only last for awhile,
then you end up doing the true mile.


You may never rise again,


and it may be your end!

Blink,
Gone!

Excellent prespective of life
Sometimes its difficult to "keep
it in the air" but then God sends
his angel to lift us back up again.
Your write speaks volumes..
