Taking a Chance

Leap of Faith

By Jasmine DavisPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

Letting air flow through my nostrils.

Eyes closed, arms extending east and westward.

Toes, imprinting the ground on which I walk.

Breathe in out breathe. In

All of the energy from life

Comes out when the board bends.

This is the leap the jump plunge,

Into all of the what-ifs,

A pool of opportunity awaits.

Preparing to dive in,

An unrecognized place for things hoped for,

Things unseen things too daring to speak.

A better life; one without stress. Worry free.

Joy; beyond measure. Without limits.

Love; unable to run out. Or hit back.

Happiness; contingent only upon me.

Free...freedom. For me, free from shame.

Taking a chance,

Walking the line too thin to not land on.

Yet too heavy to bare.
