girl on a ball
agile of soul I balance my thoughts
in this circus called life it keeps me sane
in the blue colored world I have a tenuous hold at best
one misstep and I will fall so I keep my mind on the ball
striving for perfection is my profession
while people gawk at the woman performing
a feat of pure amazement
how a woman with a precarious perch is making it
lithe of form I require little
my heart burdened carries a lot of weight
I muster my core strength and bear it
with the support of the ring leader I can survive
circular energies it all comes around in time
I, in spite of the odds will continue on
my back square and my shoulders taught
I am an amazing example of perseverance

All language is metaphor. Whatever it purports, whatever it sports, the core is a universally translating hub that when read in it's subterranean dialect transfused the whole with the narrative of its example. The part is the whole in miniature.
To be spotted while doing your routine, to not be censured or limited but rather protected by your own request against cataclysmic failure, is to be daringly aware.
Stunts are dangerous as concentrated allegories for real life events where no precautions are taken, but they still carry a tremendous amount of risks.
This life of stepping out without a net is the greatest stunt. Some precautions can be taken. Responsibility must be assumed.
You plays the game and takes your chances. We assume that perfection is the goal. Perfect shot, all net.
And yet, how many people, terrified by the potential catalogue of negativities fail 100% because they never even try?
This piece is light years ahead of the average citizen's meager show. The Olympian challenge is taking even one step, a single now, to flinch a blink at the onslaught over the imagined horizon.
This. Is. Not. Merely. That.
This is Valhalla. The seed must face oblivion in order to reach the summit. Risk is terrifying. But lacking risk is worse.

Outstanding write crimsin. It's a great example of delving into the character and conveying the emotion the scene playing out.
