I breathe the air of rebirth
I am clean
I am new
No longer tainted by scars that refused to heal
I am ready
To begin again
To take that leap into the chasm
It is scary
Scary enough to leave me teetering precariously on the edge
Looking down upon the ravine
Wondering if it is too late to abandon my jump
I close my eyes
And ask myself
How can I achieve that feeling
If I don’t make the jump
Overwhelming adrenaline
Courses through me
Butterflies escape through my mouth
Leaving my stomach for the first time since I met you
If they can leap, why not I?
If they can fulfil satisfying escapism
Then I can achieve something that is real
Something that envelops my whole being
My eyes open and I’m left with the rawness and anticipation of a prospective jump
I will not break at the bottom
I will not crumble like last time
I will fly
We will soar.
