exuberant

i climbed up the wall

wanting to reach for the sky

i was desperate to reach the top

that i never watched for the bottom

i was happily blind

and i didn't hear the cries

that i was warned.

did i mind and turned around

and later did i know

i was back on the ground.

i chose the wrong step

slipped and set

back on what i thought

that i could get.

now i look at the sky from far

never to reach or soar.

not from the ground.

so i sit and stay

laying there strayed.

listening to the wind blow

as i only get cold

not another move i make

because it's another risk

that i would foolishly take.
