Over The Edge

I have a fear of heights

but not just that,

falling,

edges,

steep drops,

most aspects of going downwards

too quick,

too fast.

So I’m confused,

as to why this new edge,

this metaphorical one,

leaves me so calm.

I suppose you,

might have something to do,

with all this…

tranquillity.

It’s difficult to fear falling,

when you’ve got use to being caught.

Truthfully.. Heights are less scary with a parachute

Well, that’s refreshing. The knowing that you’ll be caught is a nice feeling of security…sweet.

I am afraid of heights too ~ But in the metaphorical sense, there is no fear of falling when you know you can be caught or saved ~ Good one Carol ~

I am afraid of heights that I regard as unsafe, otherwise OK with them. Knowing I would be caught would make a difference to the first.
Kind regards

  Thanks for the comment. I’m terrified of unsafe heights. If I feel like there’s even the slightest chance I may fall I freeze up utterly.
