Tight rope

[Alex'z Death Chic]

hmmm this was originally about life but ended up being about God. It's not that obvious but yeah, whatever.

Gazing around the arena, I look at the people staring at me

my audience, judging me by my flaws, awaiting failure

averting my gaze, I direct it to the rope before me

thin yet sturdy, the bridge that's threatening to snap

my eyes turn to the ground below me, noting the absence of a net

nothing to catch me if I fall, only death is there for me

I hear the ringmaster announce my task, attracting my audience

applause welcomes me, acting as my cue to take my first step forward

taking a deep breath, I dare myself to make my move

placing my foot on the rope, causing it to squirm under me

I take the first, soul breaking step, and then another, then another

rushing myself, too anxious to reach my destination

my foot slips down, missing the rope, breaking my balance

as if air was taken from, I struggle hard to breathe

as I fall down, I close my eyes as I await for death to welcome me in its embrace

but nothing came, unharmed from the fall, a miracle

only to find myself in the arms of my saviour
