Dropping

I’ve said the word

 I’ve pulled the trigger

  Passed the point of no return

   The huge mounds of snow stare at me

    Cold, steel rails wait for me

     Drawing in, enticing, luring

      Ready to launch me into the air

       Dropping

        The word is out

         I am committed 

          No turning back.

           The choice is Adrenaline or comfort

            Excitement or ease

             Progression or plateau

              Sent it or stay

               You go too slow, you miss the landing

                It’s all or nothing

                 Dropping

                  Fear exists in the mind

                   I am not a slave

                    Hesitation kills

                     My love is an addiction

                      I am at peace, confident

                       Pictures in my head

                        Perfect landings, hi fives, good vibes

                         Ready to take on the world

                          Dropping

                           Palms sweating inside my gloves

                            Every cell fights against the brain

                             Why do I do it?

                              I have one life to live

                               Is this what I’m supposed to do?

                                It’s only snow and gravity

                                 The choice is one hundred percent up to me

                                  I open my mouth, I say the word:

Dropping
