Walking the tightrope

Sometimes I feel like my life is a circus, and I'm the one on the tightrope.

My ground below isn't sure, or steady.

And while the crazy music and laughing clowns swirl around me in a dizzying craze, I falter on the rope.

If only this were just a rehearsal, a practice run. If only the blaring lights weren't shedding their blinding and unforgivable shine on me.

But it's showtime, and I'm not ready. I don't really know what I'm doing.

When will the man on the flying trapeze swoop in and save me from certain death?

....he never will. He shouldn't anyway. I have to learn to master this art on my own.

The art of living, loving, overcoming.

Maybe I just need a safety net, in case I fall.
