Walking a tightrope,
work offsetting my home life.
Pole never even.
“Free me,” I pleaded.
Ringmaster, feigning deafness,
Let me tumble off.
Walking a tightrope,
fears offsetting serenity.
Pole finally even.

The second poem is especially strong. It speaks strongly within the poem and well beyond.
A great series of playing with balance. Thank you ;p
