Take the Leap

I couldn’t ever skydive

Don’t tell me I will say

I can do it and I am not afraid

Then my mind tells me

I am too scared to face my fears

I sometimes feel like

It is an impossible obstacle

Negative people may say

Take the leap

I believe I will

Stay up here at the edge forever

I don’t want to

Belong to the fear

I know that I will never

Jump out of the plane

So I really want to

Go home and not look back

What I won’t do is

Just fly through the sky

Because people said it would be fun

Should I skydive?
