Tightrope

Each day is a struggle
A balancing act
Between real and daydream
Reality intact

I fight my way through it
Eyes on the prize
Things crashing around me
Life's compromise

This tricky old tap dance
There's no room to fail
Dreams crashing around me
Still, I prevail

The trick is the balance
No wobbling allowed
Fake it if you have to
Smile for the crowd

For life is a tightrope
There's no easy way
Step out and be fearless
Make this your day
