Analysis of Razors Edge



I fall asleep,
Against the razors edge,
I wake stepping,
Onto and off a ledge,
Wrapped in prayer,
Tied with a bow,
Ready to learn,
All I don't know,
Waiting for answers,
As though they were there,
Wondering who...,
Who does really care,
Empty of breath,
Dangling from a dream,
Maybe just part of,
The devil's scheme,
Twisted gate,
Far from perfection,
As destiny scatters,
In every direction..............................BAD-Mc..<3
