You'Re Your Own Limit

This miserable height still scares me
I glimpse the terrain underneath
My hands are shaking
My heartbeat's racing
My legs not yet collapsing
Cowardice prevents me from jumping
Terror makes me turn my back
Close my eyes
Shut the door
Stop outside
Every chance I have
Of being finally
Happy.
