An Acrobat Was I

I used to dance with suicide

I used to walk with God

Balanced on the razor's edge

I never thought I'd fall

 

I was a graceful acrobat

And life was my trapeze

I loved to know I could let go

And end it all with ease

 

But I looked down and saw a net

And I began to cry

For then I knew my escape route

Had simply passed me by
