Leap of Faith

Follow me to a ledge inside my mind & observe
as I leap
Many are very close to the edge but scared to jump
because they're weak
Being afraid to fall isn't the problem, it's only natural
to fear the crash
When you reach the bottom, you see yourself staring
back from a looking glass
Throw all your caution to the wind & feel the air beneath
your wings
A cage bird is free within its mind & you can hear it
when it sings
There are many things to fear in life, but fear itself is the
only cause
Don't be afraid to grow for that stunts your growth &
amplifies all your flaws
Cause & effect is natures law so it must be treated 
with respect
Once I was blind to mothers' rules, but now I see 
in retrospect
Have faith in self & take the leap, you just may be
caught before you fall
Once you let go, you'll see the truth, there was nothing
to fear after all

A great, thought provoking and inspiring poem Jasen. So well written. Flows so well with great rhyming. ‘There are many things to fear in life, but fear itself is the only cause’ ‘Once you let go, you’ll see the truth, there was nothing to fear at all’ What amazing, inspiring words full of profound wisdom my friend. Wish I was more brave to take lots of leaps of faith instead of mostly playing it safe throughout my life and staying grounded. So enjoyed this read. Thank you for sharing.
