A Trapeze Superstar

I dance on the floor before being lifted high into the air on my trapeze.

Swinging back and forth like a pendulum...gradually picking up speed before I am able to flip and tumble in the air.

No fear. No worries. Barely even breathing. 

Why is it so easy to go back and forth without holding onto a single thing? Everything is  blur beneath me. 

My sequined costume reflects the purple and red lights which swirl around me. 

I dont know which side i like better.

If i was to fall, would i be caught or would i plummet to the earth with no safety net...no one to catch me. 

I need to make a choice.

Do i come down from my roost or do i continue swaying to the beats of unwritten songs?



Until next time, 
-J.C.
