Be Faster
They want you to cry.
They want you unstable.
They want you to go down hard.
They want you to have to balance on one foot.
They want you to fall,
to hang off the edge of a cliff,
hands slowly slipping,
losing there grip.
They are waiting for you to fall,
so they can laugh at you.
So they can make you beg for mercy.
They will hurt you.
They will attack you like a cat to a mouse,
but bigger,
like a tiger to a rabbit.
So watch out.
Because they might get you,
but they won't get me.
Tigers might be fierce,
but rabbits are faster.
