It's time, she thought!
To give up the boring routine
And start something new,
Where she can feel alive.
She looked up the mountain,
Where the sky divers climbed!
And watched with awe,
As they kissed the sky.
She wished to feel the rush,
And the joy of flying alike!
But the phobia hit her hard,
Making her wonder if she can!
I will do it, she said out loud,
As she enlisted herself for the task.
There is nothing to be afraid of,
Its just a matter of fact!
The ground felt authentic; sky unsure,
As she steadied herself for the fall.
It's foolish to try, just give up!
Whispered a small voice inside!
Eyes closed, she took a leap of faith,
And jumped without thinking twice.
Exhilarating was how it felt,
As adrenaline rushed through her heart.
Oh the joy, the feeling of being alive,
She had never felt so all her life.
She looked down and smiled again,
As the wind kissed her eyes.

DeleteA leap of faith. That's what it was for me too when I tried paragliding. Loved it, just as I love your poem! The phobias are all in our heads, aren't they, thoughts that are so easy to get rid of with actions. :)
ReplyDeleteWell said priya.. phobias are all in our head! So nxt tym i get a chance am definitely trying dis :-) thank you :-)
DeleteI could really relate to this -- at least up to the point where she jumped. :) But I love her courage and overcoming her fear. Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteOne of the reasons that humans have been so successful of all animals is the way they have taken risks, pushing back fear and tackling the impossible. Pity we are so stupid in other ways too! Very well written post.
ReplyDeleteThank you :) Taking the risks is probably the most difficult and at the same time, an important task too!
Deletethis is my fav poem :) let me say best from you so far :)
ReplyDeleteOh wow!! Thank you ^_^
