Up, up and away on a hot-air balloon;
soaring in exceedingly high altitude,
then it turns into a fight for survival.
Worst nightmare come true!

Note: I was inspired to write this poem after watching "The Aeronauts" last night on Prime Video. See this awesome movie if you haven't! As someone who hates heights, I found it very suspenseful as well. I can't even begin to imagine the level of fear being in that kind of predicament!
