JUMP IN

I take a big breath

should I just jump in?

The water might be cold

it may pull me under

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 try to jump in

This time...

with both feet.

Both deep and delightful. Interesting that the final thought is still 'try' even with 'both feet'. But I commend the honesty.
