~Fear of HEIGHTS ~

Looking down your mind hits the bottom
Through your eyes not a blink
Adrenaline flows
As you stand on the front of your feet
On your toes.

Knuckles in white grasping rail tight
As you look too the bottom
Your minds fear of height

Your fighting the fear
Drops of sweat on the shirt
As your knuckles in white
Close the eyes makes it worse.

Lift a foot u turn green
get me down "NOW" . . . . . enough I've seen~

I've had my adrenaline run a few times over the years. Fear based once with a bear that was about 8 feet away from me. So yeah it's a scary place to be. Ty for your thoughts Jazzy.

I have a real fear of heights.. and frankly can't understand those who don't... A fall from a great height, is indeed something to fear.. maybe a healthy protective mechanism..

Lol quietstorm yet one has to subject themselve to such an then let go or put themselve in jeopardy of risk by not bein sure to be safe. If ur safe there's nothin to fear! :) otherwise it's a mind trip:)

QuietStormFSouthern Ontario, Ontario CanadaJan 8, 2010

I reckon .. but still I don't put myself in any situation I FEAR. just my way I guess..
