Unstable
by Jessie

I live each day on this tightrope--
Teetering back and forth,
Knowing that at any moment,
I could stumble and
F
a
l
l
d
o
w
n
.
.
.

If I try my best to
Stay
Very
Still
I will never get to the other side.

But if I take one step forward,
I will fall.

I know I will,
For I have always been a clumsy person--
On the inside
And the outside.

My legs are shaking,
My arms keep swinging wildly

Up
and
Down,

Up
and
Down

Don't fall don't fall don't fall!!


Why am I even here in the first place?
I don't remember how I got here,
I don't know where I came from...
(Where the hell am I even going?)

So here I am,
Trying my best to keep my
Balance, and wondering

If falling is really
Such a bad thing.

Great shot; i love the green and the textures mazpics · 2012-04-16: 04:58

"So here I am" until "Such a bad thing" ... these words (this feeling) I can relate to so well. Wonderful post. I love the picture as well. I take it into my favorites. nynkeb · 2012-04-16: 05:19

Very good picture ! Color just for the steep and grey around. I like too the "Tightrope walker" feeling. nicephore34 · 2012-04-16: 05:47

Sentiment d'une vie qui ne tient qu'à un équilibre précaire sur un escalier pentu et semblant peu sûr... Envie de se laisser aller à tomber... Bien vu, bien dit Antonio :) josy63 · 2012-04-16: 06:03

Please don't fall! Great picture! Love the green against B&W ...its radiant :) EvaLizette · 2012-04-16: 10:05

Well seen ! Nice details helys · 2012-04-16: 11:36

Very nice this selective work. Great lines unreal · 2012-04-16: 14:43

Looks so artistic. Really beautiful. ????? · 2012-04-16: 16:22

Great photo and you raise an intriguing thought. Often when I am at great heights (in the helicopter or the top of the column) I feel an almost overwhelming compulsion to jump. Then I realize that the reason I want to jump is merely to stop the fear of falling. liveandletlive · 2012-04-16: 20:09

Foto super bem feita se identifica com a musica. Muito legal :-) ????? · 2012-04-17: 14:30

Falling and getting up-human destiny. Meaningful post as ever. You'll never leave your viewer without spiritual food. angela20620 · 2012-04-17: 18:35

Ce qui est sure, moi, je n'empreinterai pas cette passerelle:-) Tout tombera en poussière! tikine3gogours · 2012-04-18: 10:36

Oh não... ainda hoje dei um tombo... prefiro o chão aparentemente firme :)) Bom trabalho!! Unchained · 2012-04-18: 11:51

Eu já dei um "tombo" hoje... LG · 2012-04-19: 08:42

unstable and still appealing,,, TIM927 · 2012-04-20: 17:13
