I have never lied to you
When I said I was ready to go all in
I took the jump
You never followed
I have discovered
At the bottom of the cliff
A brand new life
And the people there
They don't hurt me
They hold my hand
And look into my eyes
They lit a fire in my veins
In my eyes
They let them shine
My eyes are bright
And my hands are always warm
My being is connected
To the people who care

I have never been so glad
To take a fall

Im that cliff
jumping friend you were
warned about,
If I jump
what will be the difference
between us,
That moment
I am no longer with
you,
The only change
in believing of
it is what it is,
Is nothing,
nothing changed,
It is what it is, .
Live your life,
Yin and yang,
Oreo cookies,
Is the absence of
change
If nothing changes
than you will never be a new,
The internal heat,
Forever fire,
The part within that
grows everyday.
So choose change,
everyday for you
and if each day is
better for you,
it is because you are better,
choosing every day.

Jump, push, fall
Either way
You end up
Hitting the ground.
Does it ever really matter?

I stood at the edge of the cliff
Thousands of feet in the sky.
And I asked myself,
How do I know
I cannot fly,
If I have never tried?
I pondered on the question,
And realized,
I needed to find out.
So I jumped.
Will I fly?

I ran and ran                                                
from the unknown and                          
I found a broken bridge -                                  
an exit                                                
from this land                                    
full of fears.                              

I looked down                        
it was deep                  
I couldn't see                  
its end                    
my legs grew stiff.            
Shaking,                                    
I sniffed                                
the courage left                      
in the thin air              
and exhaled                    
a short loud shout    
releasing from my mouth      
a huge amount                  
of thick, black smoke              
of which I assumed                              
was the remaining fear        
which my guts              
have been aching    
to let go.

and then I bent a little -          
focused every energy                            
left in my body,                  
every drop of hope                        
left in my heart,                                  
every courage                                              
left in my lungs -                                  
to my legs                                
to my ankles                                      
to my feet.                                                  

Hoping to reach the other side,                                                                          
I closed my eyes                                                                                                

and *jumped.
where do our dreams go after we wake up? do they just vanish and be forgotten? i wonder.

Summer sun and car rides.
We drive with Third Eye Blind and Oasis telling us where to go.
Which beach do we jump on today?
Doesn't matter, I'm counting the waves.
We came, found that peace and left our stress.
Sifting sand through laughter and digging holes with hands.
What else could we ask for in life?
That moment. Go find it.
Let's get back there.

My trail of thought left with the train in the distance
Do not disturb my blissful ignorance
Because it's a long way to jump from here
Adrenaline rushing through a tunnel of thoughts
As tangled as a tube map
I stand at the crossroads of my life
Mindlessly dodging traffic.

The crashing of the waves
Reminds me of my head
Hitting the wall
After I've told myself
A million times
'I can't love you I can't love you'
And the wind
Slapping my face
Reminds me of how I felt
When I watched you walk away
For the last time
And it's your voice
Echoing along the cliff's edge
'Jump jump'.
