Next chapter, But now there’s no lines on the paper
Well I’ve got to the Point in my life where you step out of the shallows and reach the steep drop towards adult live, And I’m going to be honest. I am really scared.
You go through the first 20 years of your life with someone there to hold your hand, Guide the way, help you choose right from wrong. Trying to prepare you for the first time you dive in. You finally get comfortable then your arm bands are torn away from you and suddenly you feel naked and laid bare to the world.
We’ve all heard that a Rolling Stone gathers no moss. And that To Risk will bring Rewards However what if the Stone gets caught in the mud or the Risk is to large and the Silver medal gets slapped on your chest like a “better luck next time” sticker. I mean do you place our left or right foot first? Throughout School and well, all education you count the days down you pray that your day will come to show the world what your made of.
Then you get there, Standing on the edge of oblivion looking over whilst the cliff slowly crumbles beneath your foot and you just pray that someone will catch you on the way down before you drop into a seemingly endless cavern. with the fence you held on to as a child slowly collapsing as each pole drops through the ground.
I guess that is what truely shows our character. Do you grab hold of the poles Cling to them feeling the small amount of security they offer whilst everything falls from around us. Or do we let go. and fall hopeing that somewhere in the vast emptyness is something that can support us. Be there for us.
Me? I’m worried about falling. Because who says that there is enough ground there for us all? what if instead of something to hold us there is nothing? and we just drop forever never being caught. The moment i attempt to release my hand from the railings but body begins to freeze and the up draft becomes so strong that all you can think is how much more secure you were when the Barrier was strong between you and the big bad world and where the smokescreen of Magic and karma and religion disappeared to.
Do it. Peer over the edge. What do you see?
