The Plunge

I like the way this poem never directly mentions relationships but in its metaphors its still aparent

Is it really time to take the wall down?

How do I know I won’t end this in a frown?

You don’t know what you got until it’s gone,

I don’t want to be left in the dust because I was too scared to hold on.

Is it time to just buckle up and go along for the ride?

Is it time to reveal what right now I hide?

I’m peering over the ledge thinking of making the jump,

Do I really know what’s best is what will come when my body goes thump?

Is it really time to make the leap?

Will the outcome be, in life what I seek?

Is fear of something good a normal reaction?

Do my tires have the right traction?

It’s time to squeeze out the past hurt and let it leak out like a sponge,

It’s time to take the plunge.
