Life
Walking on a balance beam
made of broken glass
My only get away
was going to class
One step forward
two steps back
I couldn't walk away
and i tried not to fall
But no one ever noticed
That i had to try at all
No one ever cheered
no one ever clapped
So i took it as permission
I Stop balancing
And I fell
Straight back
