The Leap

I can hear myself scream
Falling, never landing, grasping at sunbeams
You have a choice
Said the Being without a voice
Drop your line in the pity parade
Take your spot on this crazy crusade
Not letting it show is stoic
Not facing up is not heroic
You will be haunted forever in troubled sleep
When you commit a failed attempt at the Leap

  1. I'm reminded of the maxim, "It's better to regret something you did do than to regret something you didn't do." Not leaping is a form of self-perpetuating paralysis.

  2. Not letting it show is stoic, perhaps, but also bad for the health. Leaping is good, if it's not literal.
