Why am I so scared of this?
I can't explain this rumble jumble
of feelings tornado-ing
around inside me right now.
I want it, I like this chance, I do.
But **** am I terrified too.
And the apprehension itself
scares me.
I'm standing at the edge,
cautiously peeking over,
as my toes creep ever closer
until they've passed the ledge
dangling in that scary oblivion
heart racing, breaths tumbling
as they chase each other
out of my chest.
I have to jump, make this leap
or I'll never be sure.
I can't be too scared to try,
too fearful of the fall,
to risk the chance to fly.
