Daredevil

Sometimes you need to feel  
A certain sense of near death  
To experience adrenaline surreal  
Before you exhale your next breath  
You push your luck to the extreme  
How far do you set your limits  
Release that inner terrified scream  
Your life can be over within minutes  
 
I needed to check my emotions  
To test my body soul and mind  
Reality and fantasy interwoven  
Searching for what I needed to find  
Heart racing and blood flowing  
Is there a pulse left in my body  
Answers I have without knowing  
Memories have grown so foggy  
 
I see an inviting train track  
Two hundred feet in the air  
Over a ravine, no turning back  
Into my soul I stare  
Do I accept this challenge  
My friends say just walk away  
With the slightest imbalance  
My life could end today  
 
I walked out to the middle  
And stepped over the railing  
Searching for my lifes acquittal  
And the lies I spent detailing  
A story that I created  
Of me or this so called version  
Lie after lie was replicated  
This truth was just a diversion  
 
Hiding my fears with this facade  
To show I'm strong and tough  
An army of emotions was my squad  
But eventually enough was enough  
So I risk dangerous endeavors  
Take shelter in adventures I revel  
To feel alive I do so whenever  
Living my life as a daredevil
