So High Poem by Sandra Regan

So High

Rating: 4.5


Do you want to do it?
I'm not sure, I say, 'yes.'
Vortex swirling below.
Every inch closer says DO IT.

Offer me your hand.
Face your fear.
Feeling scared.

This could be it.
He looks her in the eye and says yes.
Eyes look trusting in each other.

He is already so high.
I've done it before, but each time is new.
Girl just do it, you know you want to.
Hold my hand, lead me, I'll follow you.

Be careful, don't turn back.
Open you eyes the whole time.
Almost there.
Remember, you both have done this before.
Don't be scared.

We will get wet.
Hands together then let go.
Angels protect us.
This time feels like the first time.

Don't know if I can go through with this.
I know you want to do it.
Don't run from this.

You keep saying, don't be afraid - I'm not afraid.
Others will say I was so crazy, but I was brave.
U are convincing me I can do this.

There's no turning back now.
How high are we?
It will feel like your flying and then you'll explode.
No regrets.
Killed the fear. Let's do it again
