When life becomes meaningless <br />no matter what you do seem useless <br />and all opportunities you grab wasted <br />broken dreams lurking with self busted <br />everything you hold on now starts to fall <br />drags you feel pushed against the wall <br />realization of life is at the cutting edge. <br /> <br />When life becomes the darkest <br />no hope of light makes you weakest <br />and things you touch soon are dead <br />failure always cling to you instead <br />you try to survive from uncertainties <br />yet your ego succumbs to all the vanities <br />Doubt overcomes self to feel the cutting edge. <br /> <br />Though life becomes vague <br />Do not give up to fight the plague <br />For quitters do not win any endeavor <br />Hang on lit the ember to light you with fervor <br />For as long as you have the courage to go forward <br />Then no amount of deterrents can make you a coward <br />And in the end you will be able to override the cutting edge.<br /><br />Marvin Brato Sr<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-life-is-at-the-cutting-edge/
