I’ve stranded myself
in the middle of a tightrope.
Maybe that is where
you are now…
worn out from
maintaining the status quo,
but you are frozen in place.
Every muscle works
at maximum capacity
to keep you
safe, steady, and stuck.
I’ve been there –
working hard
and doing what
should be done,
but not budging an inch.
Working hard to
keep balance
even though I can
see what I want is
on the other side
of the chasm.
There’s a lot of questions
between here and there.
A whole lot of strenuous,
tedious, teetering steps
to be taken.
The choice is:
stay or move forward.
Is it more scary to stay
in a precarious place
and work so hard
to not move at all?
Or is it scarier
to never know what
it is like to cross
the chasm to
dance and
take up your space
where you belong?
Proceed with fear.
It is time.
One step,
then two.
No more stuck
on a tightrope.
