Tightrope

Look at me! Look at me! Here in the air!
Up on the tightrope - that's me - up there!
Balancing shakily, certain to fall
I wish that I wasn't up here at all.
Perched so precarious, dangling yet,
Nothing below me, no - no safety net,
One side is darkness, the other is light
I'm walking the wire, and nothing feels right.
My balance is failing, I know that I'll lose,
I must decide on a side - I must choose,
One side is death and the other is life
I've made no decision - I'm walking the knife.
What an act! I'm a star! People watching me shake,
As I head for the end with each step that I take,
Shall I die? Shall I live? And does anyone care?
The tightrope goes on and I hang in the air.
