How can I be
A dancer on the precipice
When I am so afraid
To fail
Can I choose
A path forward
A step between
To a point of the infinite
What feels like falling
Strength wars with the push
Sleep a promise unfulfilled
Searching for a place of safety
Knowing all along
We might not all make it
Knowing the step forward is the only choice
But all roads are open
How to choose
When choices shut doors
Leading to
Instead of away
