Walking the Tightrope H Aboubakar

"Walking the Tightrope" is a collection of poems and personal thoughts on the author's relatable experiences of walking through life on a tightrope. The book is divided into 6 different sections: Perspectives, Into The Abyss, Balancing Act, Barbed Wire, Beating Heart, and On The Horizon. The topics and themes include: Perceptions, pain, childhood, racism, discrimination, injustice, fear, family, love, hope, life, dreams, and more. Author's note: Poetry is a therapeutic outlet for me to express, and make sense of, my thoughts and feelings, as well as to help me grow. I hope that at least one person out there can benefit from these pieces... and realize that they aren't alone on this tightrope called Life. We just need to take one step at a time
