Balancing Act
Walking a tightrope
Above the minefields
of your existence
I throw caution to the wind
Up here I may fall
A path of least resistance
Melancholy thoughts
And depressing actions
Separate us by degrees
Refusing to let go
Clinging to air
I’m an artist of trapeze
Remaining in limbo
With no safety net
Patiently waiting
Self-indulgent proclivities
Keep us apart but
My danger liberating
