old into the new

I leaped
jumped
over the edge
my body
free falls
to the
ground below
doubt
explodes
what have I done?
fear
electrifies
every cell
in my body
will I survive?
confusion
clouds
why did I
take the
chance?
faster
nearer
the ground
approaches
I brace myself
for impact
and
surrender
to the
fall
I look up
the old me
reaches
a hand
to
save me
to
pull me
back to
the safety
of the
old
the comfort
of the
known
doubt
dissipates
confusion
clears
fear
subsides
I land softly
gently
on the
ground
below
my feet
secure
my body
whole
my eyes
open
to all the
possibilities
I walk
into my
new
