bridge jump

for the first time in my life i defeated my fear of heights. i jumped off a bridge. if u have questions let me know hahaha. it was great.


Over the railing
One foot at a time .
Don't look down -
And it will be fine.
To late.
Inhibition and doubt,
Like spiders crawl
Up my spine
In my joints.
Flight response kicks in,
fighting instinct -
Forget logic.
A quick prayer .
A Leap.
Air walking,
Falling stylishly.
Letting go of all worries,
Not thinking,
Dreaming,
Just falling.
Like a stone,
Plummeting.
Then splash,
The chill of Darkness.
A Fight for air.
Go up. Go up.
Sky.
Like all falls in life,
No matter how far we drop,
Even if we hit rock bottom.
We must swim ashore
and work our way
back
up.

  1. Falling is a freedom people seldome look for or find time to do. There are other ways of falling, like ,falling in love. You'll try that some day, it feels about the same untill the one who loves you catches you and you don't need air ,just their love. Just wait and see...
