Flying by the seat of my pants
by Sofia Kioroglou
Life is like riding a bicycle
You don't fall unless you stop pedalling
But what about freewheeling?
It is like allowing your life
to be controlled by destiny
The truth is that I have never learned
to ride a bike but only to freewheel
I love flying by the seat of my pants
I just love the unpredictable
I just want to see life like a walk in the park
Whoever said perseverance is failing 19 times?
In dungarees and a flannel shirt,
I can't keep the balancing and try
to hide my embarassment
when I meet the pavement
A few bruises and a scraped elbow
What a nasty fall still etched on my mind
Impossible to master balance and movement
Whoever said perseverance is failing
19 times and succeeding the 20th?
