Ability

Walk to the edge and look down

See how far you have to fall

It all lands at the bottom

But a fear of heights

And nasty frights

Keeps you from the edge

From the plunge

Take a step back

Turn away

It’s safer over here

Far from the ledge

Far from the fear

Safety is comfort

Risk is unclear

I say I want this

But it doesn’t appear

My dreams don’t take shape

They all disappear

My happiness delayed

My eyes fill with tears

And I watch myself wasting

Turning to yesterdays

If tomorrow is already on me

Then I lost the chance I’d given myself

Let it fall into the gap

Between my motivation and confidence

Worry makes me wonder

If it is better to just jump

After all

The only one that can do it

Is me

But what if I can’t do it
