Haven't Seen The Path Poem by Caylin Paige

It's this sinking feeling in my chest
that keeps me awake at night.
This feeling that won't go away.
My hope is fading
The small part of me that is still a kid.
Each time I have fallen down
I have dusted off the dirt and walked on.
I have tried to not look back
But in trying so hard
I have had to keep peaking behind myself
Always looking to see what it is I fell over.
That maybe I will see it coming
But then that's when I realize
That, that is the reason I fell in the first place.
