Description body div#devskin0 hr { }

Hanging on a tightrope is beyond the mind
Limb from limb, the extensions fly
One bad tip and all falls
But you keep on holding until it's made

You don't give up regardless what comes
Hit beyond hitsΒ 
Realities that sink in
It's the journey you pick

It's the rope you choose to stay on
It's easier to fall
The net keeps you safe
The one you believe that's down below

Do you look?
Do you want it there?
Or is it forward you're looking at
For the tightrope isn't moving

The wind is still
It's your fear of looking
The thing holding you back
Let it go
Keep holding on to this instead

The tightrope is going straight
It's not leading you astray
For no direction is right
Other than this

The way of feeling strong
Knowing you'll be caught
Not by the net-
just by walking forward

Forward on the tightrope of courage
The one that never leads you astrayΒ

lol well it's nice to make people feel included. And yeah if you think about it- not a first thought in your head but if you look down you know the net is there to catch you. But forget the net. Pretend there's no net You have to be brave and find courage to cross because safety nets and choices have to be made in life. Move forward because if you look back you won't always have that net to catch you

It does indeed ^^ Yes, I know what you mean, and I think the poem really conveys that. Your words ring true, as some may say.
