Jump
just because your trust is broken
does not mean your scars are not strong and your skin not tough;
your resilience is now much more
determined to rebuild
so, Jump
just because you have
twice
and fallen, bruised broken defeated
twice
doesn’t mean now is the time to
stand still
Jump
just because you tried you gave
you failed over and over and over
still Jump
these painful lessons
horrible inconviences
along these hopeful paths you keep walking
allow them to teach you
allow yourself to embrace the speed
of the universe
Jump
because failure is getting scared
and stopping;
is choosing baby steps
when you are so close
when a quick sprint is all you really need
to end this seemingly never-ending marathon
Jump
don’t walk through the fire
Jump
you never bothered with consequences
so why now?
only the boring get bored
only the timid stay behind
don’t be paralyzed by the fear of your past
Jump!
