Taunting the Tightrope to Daunting

Every day I thread my way
along high wire tightrope,
strung between: 
promise and doubt;
resolve and quit;
hold on and fall off;
with a safety net set out below to catch me. 
But, try as I must, 
I can't get the hang of it.
I can't get to the other side,
without falling into the net.
The task is too taunting, 
taut and daunting, 
even when I use a balance pole.
So Here's the Rub!
Perchance to Dream!
Scrub the Net!
