Living Life on a Knife Edge

Contributed by phildel on Monday, 26th August 2002 @ 07:20:08 PM in AEST
Topic: Lifepoems



Cindy knows life is about happiness,
She kicks sand in the sun on a blazing hot day,
Weighs up every decision,
And uses the compass of joy to predict her own way.

Asha has goals set in concrete,
If it means she'll suffer, she doesn't care
She fights on with determination of steel,
No matter what pain, she knows she'll get there.

Naomi tries to weigh everything up,
Tries to catch light in the room time to time,
But spends so much time tossing and turning with thought,
Her path through life will never align.

Me, I guess it's a mixture,
Can't say I've never been in a fix,
But at the same time I set my goals,
And leave some evenings and nights to experience kicks.

Happiness must be flexible,
Don't attatch it all to one aspect of life,
Be careful when taking the left fork,
And don't place yourself on the edge of a knife.
