Tightrope

How do you keep sadness from creeping in

While you are waiting for your life to begin

I have been alone almost all my life

Even while I was married and had a wife

I never let anyone close to me

It just not something I wanted anyone to see

I would like to know that there is hope

I feel like I am walking on a tightrope

I wish I know how far until the end

Forever on here I don't want to spend

I want to keep the dream alive

And hope one day happiness will arrive

Until that day I'll try to keep my balance

Thought it is not one of my talents

I don't want to slip and fall

For I cannot bounce like a ball

I'll look for hope each and every day

And wait for you to come my way
