Take a Leap

Take a Leap

Dreams and taking action are entirely different things. It seems that it’s always easy to dream of things for the future, yet the steps in getting to them bring more weight than concerns. Still, there are also some drams that are seemingly impossible to even think of for ourselves. Or maybe that’s just me?

There are some moments in my life when the mere thought of doing or reaching a specific achievement is not a proper step. My heart is filled with tremendous pressure that sends this message to my brain: “You don’t deserve to even dream of this.”


Nails scratching within my throat
Signaling my neverending cry
For a chance to speak again
To fill my life with grace

Yet, here I am
Mouth shut
Eyes dry

It was me, after all
Who stopped
Took a step
And never looked back

Maybe this is just how it should be
I never really had a chance to move
No visions of greatness
Because I only see the now

Nails scratching within my throat
Signaling my neverending cry
For a chance to speak again
To fill my life with grace

Yet, here I am
Mouth shut
Eyes dry
