Ice Fall

I had a nightmare.

I was sliding the a sheer cliff of ice trying to desperately grab hold of something.  The more frantic I became the more slick the surface became and I tumbled endless into the void. 

I feel this is becoming synonymous with my life now.  I feel as though the entire world is passing me buy.  I confide in myself that hope is lost.  I’ve been losing or more accurately ‘not winning’ for so long I begin to doubt that there is any future were I can be successful in any capacity. 

It’s frightening.  My friends are younger, smarter, healthier and with better education and self esteem then I have ever had.  Then again they hadn’t lived as long as I’ve had or had to get up from  the bone-crushing lessons served from the school of hard knocks that I’ve had.

This doesn’t make me better.

I’m stuck in a rut.  Not a casual, let’s go back to school kinda rut.  More like I just had my birthday and I feel as though I’ve been living most of my life as a corpse. Somehere in there I would like to win.  I’d like to win big.

I simply have no idea how to do.

I’m sliding of a cliff of ice.  I’m falling into the void.
