Tightrope

by Paula Wallace

There is a tightrope one must walk. It leads to your inevitable future, and ends when you end. You can't stop, or go backwards, even though it may seem like you can. You may lose your balance; as a matter of fact, you most certainly will. If you fall to the left or fall to the right, you may think it doesn't matter, but it does. It matters a lot.
