One-legged tight rope walker - An original poem
Hey girls! Here’s an original poem from a GL reader just like you. Leave your critiques in the comments.
One-Legged Tight Rope Walker
They all cheer for the
one legged tight rope walker
Her fumbles are amusing
Her struggles stir laughter
She is so clumsy up on that tight rope
Straining in vain to find balance
We all jeer at the one legged tight rope walker
She trips
Her eyes are wide
Anticipating a fall
We smile broadly from the security of our seats
They a leer at me in disgust as I pace across
They watch
As the muscles in my high clench to support me
I look down at the trampoline
An unspoken promise
And can already feel the wind on my cheek
Slave like everything else
to gravity
