Here I stand above it all
Lacking confidence and scared to fall
Below lies addiction, hate, and betrayal my own interpretation of hell
I take a step then another determined to reach the other side
I slip but regain my balance
When I look down I see no net nothing to catch me if I fall
I clearly see its all me I must rely on myself to make it across

The author's comments:
i think this is a good piece to show people that there's a lot going on in the world and it's up to you to keep yourself from falling through the cracks
