368 – Stuck
Life comes at you fast
When you’re living
At the edge.
Just a tumble can break skin
And shatter bone
Without a warning.
Just a wrong turn
And you’re scattered
At the bottom of a ledge.
Just a blink
Drives you straight
Into a wall.
With luck
It will not kill you,
But it will always leave a bruise.
In time
The pain will fade,
The scars are honor badges
To survival.
