Unstable Fall

2012.04.16

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.

nynkeb "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.

nicephore34 Very good picture ! Color just for the steep and grey around.
I like too the "Tightrope walker" feeling.

josy63 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 :)

liveandletlive 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.

angela20620 Falling and getting up-human destiny.
Meaningful post as ever.
You'll never leave your viewer without spiritual food.

tikine3gogours Ce qui est sure, moi, je n'empreinterai pas cette passerelle:-) Tout tombera en poussière!

Bom trabalho!!
