What If?

What if?


Commitment propelling me forward

Dazzling and glorious rays 

The humid heatwave against my fortitude


Stopping is effortless

Though, I cannot

My heart thumping has reason

To see out my journey


Aching in pain

A jump lies ahead

Nerves fatiguing my pace

My capabilities are in question


Skin piercing thorns

Lounging beneath the rocks

I feared the worst


What if?

Failure, disappointment, defeat?


Adrenaline seized any doubt 

A beautiful weightless second

Arms clashing the breeze

Leaping over the gap of agony

Distress and fear

No longer in control

I smile with pride


I am free
