Stumbling over life's
building blocks,
climbing ever
higher...
If I said,
"I'm not afraid",
I would be
a liar.
Tumbling from
the turmoil,
I reach to
catch a star,
Looking towards
the heavens,
I wonder where
you are.
Will my last
memory,
be of just a
shoe?
Or will the
clouds finally part,
and I'll see a
smile from you?

This was very well-written! i'm impressed! i don't see any errors in it, and i absolutely love the way you wrote it.
I love the whole thing, but the "pure genius" part of it is here:
"Tumbling from
the turmoil,
I reach to
catch a star,
Looking towards
the heavens,
I wonder where
you are."
Great job, this was spectacular! Good luck in my contest!

I would hope.
I would hope that you would indeed see the smile. I believe we all have this wonder within us.
