Tightening grip around my neck.
Face, still smiling, but the breath is becoming laboured,
Torture, this is.
My breathing, shallow.
Is it supposed to be this way?
A rite of passage?
Hanging on with fingertips,
Watching the wave of emotions hit the rocks below....
Watching myself,
Trying not to let go.
Torture.
Torture, this is.
Oh how I long to let go.
