Gambit

In deep desperation

She goes into the fumes

Under the knife

Controlled by strangers

With a fate that

Shrivels and swells

Forcing a walk

Off the gangplank

Onto the tightrope

With little awareness

Of the dual future

Multiple guess answers

Beyond what a young student

Novice warrior

Should have to face

In a battle against the abyss

Falling forward

With a destiny

Crying out, breaking with tradition

Into a sky vault

Micro chasm, mega chasm

Alternate plan

That tips the scales,

Scaling off the tips

Of a tough choice

Revered bravado

That shines on

Whichever way the dice will roll.
