at the top of a tower \\ He’s always there.

breath caught
heart beating
hands trembling
and that one thought
i can’t move
if i move,
i die
frozen
feet planted
sides
so
very
far
away
i’m not going
to make it out of this
“are you
alright?”
the voice
it’s next to me
i chuckle
nervously
“yes
yes,
i’m fine”
“you sure?”
no
no i’m not
“i...
i need to get
down from here”
“alright”
they nod
“don’t worry -
it’ll be fine.
you want me
to go first?”
i smile
then i nod
“yes -
yes,
thank you”
“don’t fear”
they say
“pray”
sometimes
it’s hard to
trust
but that’s
just it -
we can’t
trust on our own
we’ve got to ask
God
for help

ask God for help. // He’s always there.
