A Poem by Jb

Walking on your tightrop
Feet skimming the air
Head empty and floatingAll I can hear are your words
Making my body tremble
Speaking to my shaking legs
As one foot slip
The view, it's not too far though
Because my aspirations are falling too short
You want me to fall
To descend into the dthe depths 
Of percieved failure
The depths of my faults,
My scars, my dissapointments
I am the skeloten in your closet
Ready to fall
But I'm not going to fall
I'm going to steady myself
And keep walking toward something
Something other than your hate
I'll hold on for something
It's my tightrop now
And while I may teeter
You can never make me lose my balance
