Losing balance

In the jungle .
Try not to look down.
If u do .
I might fall.
Try to hold my balance on this thin rope.
I'm not sure what's below.
I'm kind of scared.
But I won't let my cowardness show.
Ima hold my balance.
I got to .
Cause my brother and sister is depending on me.
They waiting on the other end .
For me to save them.
I am they only hope of surviving.
My moms doing her best .
But what that .
We still can't get by.
I am trying to make it safely off this rope.
But these birds are making me nervous.
And I am losing hope.
Monkeys are trowing rocks at me .
My foot is slipping.
Please don't let me fall.
Oh my god.
I thought I died .
But I caught myself.
Now I'm hanging on the rope.
While my brother and sister yelling.
"Don't fall."
"Dont fall."
"Please don't fall.".....
