Tight Rope
tight rope
Fear of the Unknown is
in my mind
The free-falling descent of my better judgement
I've gotten so high
The fear of falling is sickening
My eyes fail me
blind folded by nights dusk
On the edge
Tight rope walking
I feel a breeze from behind
Pushing forward
Dare I follow my dreams?
or in give in to it
theres a pounding in my ears
I teeter
And I totter
I hear a voice calling,
disguised in the mist ahead
with all my faith
and follow it
I don't want to be
a
lamb being lead to the slaughter
A few steps forward and
I faulter
there is a
wall
which I have built as my fortress
A
barricaded protector
that
Blocks my path
resting for a moment
to reconsider
this distrust and
I can finally see
I am my
own makeshift shelter
To overcome it
I must
shaking legs
ready themselves
to the unknown
regardless of the consequence
Pulse racing
as I ready myself for a running jump
Holding my head high
legs overreaching as I soar
pushing
the limit
with
Outstretched arms
exhaling the scent of Freedom
I descend
and
continue
to cross this border line
casting away
the blindfold of darkness
I see for miles beyond our horizon
Bright light peaks out showing speckles of angels wings
The sun stretches for miles
our warm blanket
and i see you
sunken in clouds
calling for me
