My Unicycle Ride

It's my first time riding a unicycle,
I am terrified.
I don't want to let go of this wall
and end up mortified. 

My friend had told me it was easy;
Now I know she lied.
She promises she'll be right there
and she's by my side.

I take a breath, I shift my feet,
I pedal just a bit.
The wheel scoots forward, so do I.
Finally, I commit!

I let go, pedaling forward,
I'm finally doing it! 
I laugh with joy and stop the cycle.
Now's a good time to quit.
