Running Off the Cliff

Throughout the path of life
I sometimes find myself running
Moving through it rather quickly
The only problem I experienced
Is that I missed the cliff ahead
And I fell quickly to the bottom
I injured myself pretty bad,
Being that I was really hurt
I could only continue slowly
I tried to move on in my life
Going along as fast as I could
My life, however, is now limited
As I am quite broken from the fall,
I continue along the path
But slower and in pain
I never move along like I used to
Being I have crashed off the cliff
For not looking where I was going
I now wish I had paid attention
Such as now I could be running
Instead of hobbling along
The great path of life
