I’m on a tightrope
Can’t you see
It’s tricky to maintain
The balance is an act
In fact
I pray no little breeze
Or sneeze
I’m up here in the thin of it
The storm clouds reign below
I’m good at this
I’ve got it down
Don’t try to talk me through
No messing with the tension
Please
The only thing I ask
Of you
