Leap of Faith

I knew better than to look

Before I leapt

For I never would have jumped

Had I ever checked

 

I closed my eyes and from the cliff

I lunged

Without a clue what lay below

I took the plunge

 

I didn’t have a clue

How far I’d fall

Or if I’d survive the landing

Or if I’d even land at all

 

But I couldn’t bear to spend

Another day

I knew no matter what

That I had to get away

 

No more listening to others

No more time lost saving face

I trusted in myself

And took the Leap of Faith
