Letting go of the rope, I realised the threads were already frayed.

Letting go of the rope, I realised I always tiptoed the line.

Always afraid.

Black hole beneath.

One mistepped balance and

Engulfed beneath.

Letting go of the rope, I realised...

It was strangling me all along.

Hard

Heart

Beat

Fast

What I was afraid of all along:
