You’ve been here before The similarities are frightening You’re scared You stand on the edge Icy waters below You’ve jumped before, a past summer This time experience holds you back Remembering the outcome from before Is it worth it? Down below a voice shouts, “Take a chance.” Without thinking, you jump You fall slowly, deeper, further, down, down, down To the point of no return SPLASH Your body descends into the cold water Your heart is pierced You rise to the surface searching for warmth Nothing, no one, is there Left all alone like last time Your heart is frozen Your body lifeless Until suddenly something grabs you And pulls you to the shore A voice whispers “I’m different.”
