Author Note: Plz don't flame me, this is my first time EVER on so plz take it easy, plz tell me what ya think about my piece. thanks again. This piece is something I wrote in the middle of class, and it is also a poem im turning into a song.

The Edge

I'm teetering on the edge

My work I ignored

Will knock me off the side

The frail ropes thrown at me

Will not cling onto me

Just a little shove

To send me into the brink

Knowledge will be my death

But it can be my savior

To bring me back to life

1 thing to fall on

The strenuous life of a soldier

Not for me

I must live, must be known

I must be realized

I just need a rope

Pull me off the edge

My edge of despair

I do not dare

Dare not to touch a hair

I will not go that way

From my edge of despair

I will fall if I must

For the country I trust

Please R&R Thanks again.
