I was trying to prove to myself that I had courage, that day. On the tram, high above everything and looking down at the rocks below me.
Who was I trying to fool? Me, all by myself, proving courage to who? And why?
I've always been afraid of heights. I suppose that I was annoyed; sick and tired with this fear that took over me, out of control in those moments. I thought I could overcome it by way of force.
So, here I am...on this tram, all alone and scared to death. Somebody, anybody; please help me.

If you think this sucks
--flat, uninspiring, and dull
you're wrong. Just a lull.
Time to think not why
But how I got here today
Dangling in the sky.
I could kill that kid
who begged me to climb aboard
for the photo-op.
He said the great view
Was the grandest from the top.
We were almost there, too.
We hung in the air
Just dangling there helplessly
I took this damn shot
And hurled my guts out.
So there. Have a good laugh.

WOW...thank you, and really - I am glad to have had this opportunity, because I know right now...you will not find me up there. I've already experienced it in words of thought :).
