JUMP IN

I take a big breath
should I just jump in?

The water might be cold
it may pull me under

If I don’t try I will never know
can I swim or will I drown

I’ve been here before
got my feet wet

Then I shook my head
and ran

It was too scary
too final

Sometimes it feels safer
not to know

But then the curiosity 
weights down my heart

So here I go
going to jump in

This time...
with both feet.
