The Wires

13 3 1

by SammyGirlTheWeird

by SammyGirlTheWeird

I've been here for years

Unseen

Unheard

Unknown

And sometimes when I look

at all the friends and families in the world

I think 'I want that',

but then I look at my world and I shake my head.

'Careful' I whisper

'Careful'

My body trembles

And my feet threaten to slip,

But on my face is a huge smile

And eyes wide with a reflection of lights.

'I can do this' I whisper

'It is all I have ever done'

For years I have walked the wires,

From city to city,

From country to country,

And I may have fallen when I was young,

But now I know how to walk

and like my mother who was once by my side,

I will walk above those below.

I will walk the wires.
