Except

I like the dark,

The unseen, unknown, the scary,

Except for heights, that you can keep away from me.

 

I like mystery, 

The clues, scenes, the possibilities,

Just not if they lead me to the top of a high rise building.

 

I like adventure,

Like Camping, kayaking, and hiking,

Just not too close to that cliff's edge, (trembling) I can see. 

 

I like to travel,

By boat, car, or train,

Truth is, I even like planes....

Just don't tell me we're skydiving today.



*Decided to poke fun at myself for my fear of heights.*
