the fall
September 16, 2014
We all fall down,
one after the other
Some make a sound
others light as a feather
Water is pure, but wine is sweeter
When I step up to the plate,
I choose neither
take a hand from your brother
and hope it doesn't slip
Walk down this road together
and hope that you don't trip
The futer woven together by threads
some knotted forever
others left for dead
You say that it is Nirvana you seek
so your days won't grow cold
your muscles never weak
the bitheness of it all
could just be pretend
so when we all fall,
you'll find out in the end

Cool rhyme shceme. Watch your meter, it was inconsistent. Also, you have some spelling errors (bitterness, future). I really like the progression of the poem (it goes somewhere).
