Realizations

Whenever I give advice

I need to hear it myself 

I never see how lost I am

'til I try to direct someone else.

How do I end up so off course when I always know the right way?

I don't listen

I don't look

I don't notice I'm spinning until my eyes catch something still.

I don't notice I'm losing ground until my feet have nothing left to hold.

I pray one day I'll learn to save myself before the fall...
