Sometimes it feels like I'm standing at the edge of the world, waiting for a gust of wind to blow me away. Like a paper airplane I fly a bumpy, crooked path.

Sometimes it feels like time laughs in my face, taunts me because I rely on it. I'm just standing water without the sands of time to crash upon.

Sometimes I cut my problems away and I wake up with my eyes shut. I'm blind and bleeding but I can still hold on.

Sometimes I feel like letting go, giving up. I just want to fall to the ground and stay in Autumn. Let me break and be walked all over.

Sometimes its like I'm all alone in this overstuffed town. My heart is empty but I'm still weighed down.

Sometimes its just no use trying to be something I'm not. I can never change but I can still hold on.

This is more of a story than a poem, but it
was still expertly written and crafted. You CAN
change it is hard, but if I can change then so
can you all it takes is some effort and a will to
change. I liked the 3rd stanza/paragraph the
best it shows that even though you face
adversity you still remain strong. I encourage
you to use that strength to affect change in
yourself. Keep on writing.
