Fearless Leap

Based on: poemcrazy, by Author Susan G. Wooldridge – Chapter 10

 

Fearless Leap


My real name is pensive.
Never a still mind
My thoughts race to find the truth

Is there such a thing?

 

Yesterday my name was hopeless.
No one can help,
No one will try.

Money ruins life.

 

Today my name is maybe: yes and no.
If I can help it I will make it.
I will try to fight; stay alive.

This money which I lack

 

Tomorrow my name will be struggle.
I need support and encouragement.
I need the things I can’t find.

Mostly, I want true love.

But will it hurt?

 

Secretly, I know my name is fearful hesitation.
Standing at the top of life’s waterfall
Rapids and sharp rocks lie beneath me.

 

Should I jump?

 

Failure lives atop this cruel mountain peak.

Success can only be found in the fearless leap.
