A poem I wrote about my grandfather. I was very close to him and he passed away a few months ago. I wrote this to show that I want to be strong for him, the same way he was so strong for us.

On the Edge
Every day since
Is spent on the edge
Ready to fall
Yet still holding on
Because I know you're watching
So I stay strong for you
You're with me now more than ever
And I can't fall apart
So you know I'm living the way
You wanted me to live
Although I'm on the edge
And I feel like falling
I know that you'd want me
To hold on for my life
And make something of myself
And be all I can be
And even though
I'm always on the edge
All choked up
And ready to snap
At the smallest of things
I remember the way
You stayed strong for us
Never showing any pain
Or any hardship
Or any stress
And I remember that
To be just like you
I have to be strong too
So every moment
Spent on the edge
Will make me stronger
And teach me a lesson
I'll never forget
All those moments
Spent on the edge
That made you the man you were
Will make me a better person too
To be just like you
I'll have to endure living
On the edge too
