You stand there A look of uncertainty on your face Your hands clasped together Your heart thudding quickly You’re afraid, nervous Frightened to walk across You turn to look behind you Your wary eyes, searching the shadows Espying a movement, a blurred figure You shrink back, your voice caught Then you shake your head, and you speak “I can’t do it, I won’t, I can’t…” You tightly shut your eyes Feeling the darkness enclose around you The coldness pricking at your skin Your mind just an empty hole Your heartbeat slowing to a stop Your entire being just vanishing But from the depths of your mind You manage to recall that light That glimmer of hope lingering behind Of the people who are cheering for you Smiling, whispering comforting words The ones who embrace and kiss you And you open your eyes Warmth spreading across your body A smile creeping to your lips And you inhale, taking a deep breath Your laughter strong, rich As you take one step forward… == This poem is for you, Jordie, congratulations. :)
