It's Not the Height that Scares Me - It's the Fall

I hate looking up at tall buildings.
My stomach drops,
And my heart begins to race.
What if I was all the way at the top?
I’ll try not to look down.
But what if I missed my step?
What would happen if I fell?

Those steps on that ladder don’t look too well.
“Just climb up.”
I can’t.
What would happen if I started climbing?
I’ll try not to look down.
But what if a step on the ladder cracked?
What would happen if I fell?

High dives are pretty scary.
You jump into water from a high distance.
Maybe I’ll think about going to the top.
What would happen once I got to the top?
I’ll try not to look down.
But what if I slipped?
What would happen if I fell?

That roller coaster seems really high.
“The drop isn’t that high.”
I have to close my eyes.
What would happen once I reach the top?
I’ll try not to look down.
But what if the drop was too sudden?
What would happen if I fell?

That dock at the beach is pretty high above the water.
“Just jump in. It’s only five feet above.”
Really? It seems higher and my heart is pounding.
What would happen if I went over to the edge?
I’ll try not to look down.
But what if someone pushed me?
What would happen if I fell?
