Analysis of Peak of my life

Craig Abdou 1971 (United States)



My life has gone by so fast
leaving my youth a figment of the past. I'm just over my peak of the best I will ever look and will embrace the acceptance of age as it hits me with all the granted I mistook. Fear becomes my best friend as it guides me through obstacles that are disguised by my faded memories that torment me during my desend downward. Hidden trial and error are waiting for me to face and I hope the person I came to be will have the strength to get through without a trace. I wonder if circumstances I fall into will leave me with or without chances to overcome them. Unfortunately  I know I can never go back  and can only go forward from here.
