The Leap (10/21/15)

Always too scared to take the leap,
Always afraid it will get too deep.
Back away; go run and hide,
Tried to stay, oh yes, I've tried.
I tell myself it's all okay,
Then I turn and run away.
Perhaps one day the tide will turn,
And I can finally return,
To a normal life that is worthwhile,
Back to the point where I can smile.
