Tightrope

On the tightrope, see the crowd

Watch them cheering, screaming loud

Try not to stare at the ground

Just hold your head up proud

Take it slow, Don't go too fast

You gotta hold on and make it last

Tip-toe lightly, feet like wings

And feel the joy it brings

Feel the tension, wobble and sigh

With some luck, you can fly

Warmth in your face, feel it flush

The whole world starts to rush

So take it slow, Don't go too fast

You gotta hold on and make it last

Tip-toe lightly, feet like wings

And feel the joy it brings

And if you fall, well then don't fret

You're bound to fall into the net

And if there is none, enjoy the ride

'Cuz I'll be by your side

Just take it slow, Don't go too fast

You gotta hold on and make it last

Tip-toe lightly, feet like wings

And take in everything

Cool. Very open to interpretation although the circus imagery stands out but thats only if you allow it.
Life is a tightrope and if you fall, dont even worry about the Clowns all around.

What an enjoyable poem!
Just take it slow, Don't go to fast
You gotta hold on and make it last
Tip-toe lightly, feet like wings
And take in everything
