Catch Me

Looking over the edge I can feel it

The rush in adrenaline

When you know what you're about to do is the stupidest thing

But you don't care

Around me is pure beauty

Filled with greens and browns and blues

Taunting me to move forward

To embrace the waves crashing below

Yet fear flows freely too

What if the colors don't catch me

What if I am left to fall

Show me you will catch me

Take away my fear

Take away the possibility of pain

Let it slowly fade away

I can feel the wind pushing me

Pushing me slowly off of my feet

There's no turning back

I jump and then I fall

I tumble like a child

Down stairs as I begin to walk

I straighten and hold myself

Like the cocky person I once was

I fall gracefully and silent

As the adult I have become

Show me you will catch me

Take away my fear

Take away the possibility of pain

Let it slowly fade away

The sea envelopes me

It tells me all will be okay

Someone will always catch you

And push your fears away

The pain is hard face

It can never be completely taken away

Remember the lessons it has taught

Or the pain will grow without haste

I push through the sea's safety

Returning to the world so cold

Yet, the fears do not return

The pain is low and throbbing

So now I'll slowly slip away

I'll learn to catch myself

But if you'd like you can too
