    Taking the Dive

    Falling fast is not my style, but I'm already looking over the edge

    And the longer I peer at the ground below,
    the more I look forward to taking the step.

    My usual self would stay close to the wall, clinging to what I fear.

    But this person that's coming now to the front
    is not nearly as afraid to let go.

    Let go of anger, let go of regret, let go of jealousy, pain.

    Plunge into the light that's now in my eyes,
    and remember what it's like to smile.

    ooooh, very, very nice. I love the opening line, that alone says so much. I know this feeling. This is a hopeful poem. I enjoyed it very much and I will probably come back to read it again. Well Done

    This is a great little poem. It gets to the point of the choice between staying in the comfort zone or jumping into the unknown. Good work

    Like this on especially ! I can feel the pain in it but I also, know there is want to live the happy life.

    Poetry is what is lost in translation.
