Jump

So scared.
I have to do it.
Don't think
Don't be scared
It will all fade away

Take all the fear you feel
and turn it into wings
Focus on the sky
Make the run
Take the plunge
into bliss.

The jump is hell
The trip is worse.
Feel the air.
Taste the freedom.
The rush is so amazing
The fear is left behind

You pick-up speed
as you rush towards the Earth.
People scream.
Your heart pounds.
You fear the rush is done.

The ride is ending
No more air whistling past
No more sense of clarity and freedom
You hit the surface with a splash
A frigid slap of reality

A wave of normality
Stinging truth
So hard
So cold
You miss the sky
Where limits die
and the soul can soar

Down,
Deeper
Farther
back to how life should be
Normal and limited

You can't let that happen
One flap of your wings
Up!
Higher!
Spectators watch in fear.

Zooming into the air
You flap your wings
You fly!

Twist!
Twirl!
Flip!
Fly!

Back where you belong
Good-bye limits
Good-bye fear
I'm off to the place where I can be myself
