Never Again!
by alexrambler
Never again I vowed
Would I balance on the edge
It’s too damn slippery
So easy to fall
But the excitement
And the adrenaline
And the memories
Of living outside of it
Of living honestly
No
Never again!
But still
The balancing act
Simply the thought of it
Makes my heart beat
Faster and faster
Running through the night
Watching the universe pass by
And almost touching the stars
Dancing on the rings of Saturn
No
Never again!
Ultimate freedom
Is chained down for us all
But if one gives it all one’s got
It’s possible to escape
If only for a while
It’s not about living on the run
It’s not about wasting away
Perhaps managing
Instead of balancing
Yes
Never again, never again!
