To Jump Or Not To Jump? Poem by Abby Sowers

A person told me i needed to open my eyes
i needed to see the world
she said i don't jump when she would
that is true
at least half
my eyes are open i just choose to ignore a lot of what i see
but i do not take the jump
i hide behind excuses
i hide behind my fears
i do not take chances
those aren't for me
there are far more capable people out there
I'm just another face in the crowd
so no, no jumping for me
I'll just be cowardly
because the question is still unanswered
To jump, or not to jump?
