I need back-ups,
I.E. plans B through Z,
A fail-safe
For each stumbling block,
May sound unnecessary,
But mistakes,
Congregate in flocks,
And I’d rather be on the safe side,
Than caught in a landslide,
On the wayside.
Going without,
A direction in mind,
Is like running through a wildfire,
While drenched in kerosene,
And even though the situation is dire,
All you have to say is “eh, c’est la vie.”
The File Pile 
I really like your use of rhyme, it works well and doesn’t sound forced.
