pushing myself to edges,

on precipice teetering--
there's no way I can slow down.

Cleverly done - it makes me feel anxious, like I want to reach out and grab you before you go over!
i am one that is always having to slow myself down...
My husband, bless his heart, is always trying to get me to slow down. :)
He said that the first line should be SELF-expectations...but then I had more than five syllables. Couldn't do it. ;)
Yes, slowing down is hard for me. Sometimes I fear that if I slow down, my world will implode. But I also know I need to slow down or I'll miss too much of life....
Thanks for your thoughts, Sarah and Brian.
sounds slightly familiar to me...
thanks for the reminder...
