Two Ropes

Full of passion; it's here I 
stand,
with two ropes taut in each 
hand;
neither yet worth to let go; 
how long must I grip until I 
know? 

Mighty Atlas, I wish I could be, 
for the earth it feels weighs 
down on me;
the pain is torture and it's only 
the start;
for now I can't let go but it 
might tear me apart.
