Sometimes you just have to take the leap and build your wings on the way down.
Close your eyes. Clear your heart. Let it go.


Just two kids
Straying from the sidewalk,
Playing in the street.
Until I got hurt,
A cut so deep.

You took my hand,
And promised it’d be okay,
But I kept crying anyway.

You tried to cover the cut,
The pain, the blood;
Without cleaning the wound.

So infection caught
And infection spread,
And slowly the pain
Bled right through.
