Abseiling

My nervous knees shaking Harnessed and ready to descend Watching children practicing and looking at me The teachers taking pictures of me, nervous and frightened Logan encouraging me saying: “Don’t be nervous .You can do it.” Feeling the air rushing across my face Here I go, descending Closing my eyes until I reach the grass Slowly going down with fright in my mind Reached the grass without noticing Listening to my friends say: “Dominic, you did it!!” Opening my eyes Looking at myself, unharnessed.
