EquilibriumBalancing beneath marionette
equilibrium - A dance, no. Romance.
But to entertain, ah, there's a chance
Lest you forget, back's up straight
Keep your eye on the ball.
It's a hard life, if you want it all
Before a slip, then, too late...
"Welcome to reality", smirks Life
As gravity escorts you to the fall.

You can only do what everyone thinks you should do when performing, allow others to order you... or you'll fall down.

Yes, it's how I see it too, very good observation Obelis!

"And if your performance doesn't meet our expectations, we'll stop supporting you."Β Sometimes life feels a little bit like that, especially depending on who your primary social group is.

That's a really good addition there. Everybody wants to belong, and sometimes the things we do are too for acceptance much for us to handle, we soon find.

Back to the darker ones it is. Maybe it's because of how nice the last ones were but this just feels a lot darker than the other Stickmens to me.
The circus-like concept along with the noose and poem make seem almost cynical to me .

Hehe yes, tones shift really fast with these.
It;s cynical to me too, I doubt there'd be a happy interpretation to it. if there were, I'd love to hear it.Β

I'd be impressed as well, though I can't find one I feel.

I like the little bit of darkness there with the noose. Β Sometimes being the center of attention feels a lot like having a noose around your neck--it's uncomfortable, nerve-wracking, and you feel like everyone is judging your performance. Β Great piece!

Another refreshingly different POV, your interpretation would resonate greatly with people who suffer from anxiety disorders, I think. Thank you for leaving your thoughts here!
