when you get stuck for the first time,
they tell you to let go of whatever you’re holding on to,
spread your arms out and pull yourself to safety.
sometimes being backwards helps.
from personal experience, i can attest
to that.
and if you slip, or miss a step,
you might dangle,
but you always have something
attached to help you get back up.
and you might be somewhere and
find it a herculean task,
while someone else finds it a breeze,
you can choose how hard you make it,
and you might feel locked in,
but there’s always stability on the other side,
and who doesn’t want a bit of a challenge
there’s always someone to ask for help,
because even the best of us struggle,
and if you don’t enjoy it as much as everyone else,
you’ll have another chance at your own choice too.
