Tight Rope
Where did I come from?
Walking on this tight rope
The wind shakes me
It makes me unsteady
But forward I continue
Where am I?
I cannot see what is below
Nor what is ahead
Behind me is a blur
I can only continue
Where am I going?
I cannot see the end of the rope
Perhaps I will tread for eternity
I have been forced walk this wire
Must I continue?
If I fall do I fail?
Or is downward another path
One that inspires fear in the walker
Yet contains the freedom of choice
I will not continue
I have jumped
Downward I fall
Racing to terminal velocity
By my own decision
I fall to my destiny
