We can all do a handstand

fear has always dragged me down,
fear of highs,
fear of speed,
fear of danger,
fear to the unknown.

But my friends have been helping to move on,
to face the fears,
specially my strong Boricua doctor,
who took my hand and guide trough the magic mountain
who push me into a roller-coaster of fun...
who took me into a sling shoot to reach the sky
who allowed me to face my fears.


I am still fighting my fears,
in tricks and aerials,
my partner and friends support me,
and the support and sometimes push really makes go ahead,
although I will never get into a space ship and/or roller-coaster again
I am happy I did.

Now, I facing the upside down conundrum,
I am scared of hand stands,
don't laugh, it is pretty serious...
well, for me it is,
so go ahead and grim all you want.

My partner helped me step by step
to get my arms in a triangle,
to trust my core and my elbows,
to keep my balance
and shoot my legs up in the air,
to rush the blood into my head,
to learn that,
even if I was sure I was not able to do a hands stand,
with help and support,
we can all do a handstand

fear is mental"
