Take the Leap
I couldn’t ever skydive
Don’t tell me I will say
I can do it and I am not afraid
Then my mind tells me
I am too scared to face my fears
I sometimes feel like
It is an impossible obstacle
Negative people may say
Take the leap
I believe I will
Stay up here at the edge forever
I don’t want to
Belong to the fear
I know that I will never
Jump out of the plane
So I really want to
Go home and not look back
What I won’t do is
Just fly through the sky
Because people said it would be fun
Should I skydive?
(Now read backwards)
