That Which Kills Me

Haiku Sonnet - Inspired by Counting Stars by OneRepublic

That which kills me makes
me feel alive with pounding
pulse and baited breath.

Whirling skydiving
falling fast towards the earth
til the chute opens.

Diving with large sharks
in the blue vast ocean seas
but safe in a cage.

Back country skiing
in winter with avalanche
take chances with life.

Done for adrenaline rush
to feel alive and thriving.
