Cracks

I stumble
Across cracks in the road
Bumbling, barreling, bobbing
My way forward
At moments I feel blind
I want to scream for help
Collapse and quit
Just take a moment
To catch my breath
Wishing for days of
Adolescence
When a cry to my parents
Would make it all okay
There is no one to swoop in
And save me now
I have to find my own strength
My own will
My own way
On my road
Despite the cracks in the path
Before me.
