The first time I worked on a car,

my hands trembled- but my heart was a star .

Steel and chrome, grease on my skin,

A whole new world I was stepping in.

The hood rose like a stage light beam,

And I stood there chasing a brand new dream.

Sanding and masking, fixing the bend-

It wasn’t just metal, it was my new friend.

Eager eyes beneath a welding mask,

Each tool a teacher, each bolt a task.

I...

I ponder, I fret, I search and I imagine. I have wondered for years, and I’ve forgotten, too. So much now riding on this - this new chance. I am afraid of losing, but I leap!...

Crouching in anticipation,

The rope taut my gloved hands

I lean my weight over the cliff face.

Beneath me, the eighty feet

To the ground.

That first jump suspended between

Air and earth, my hands slipping

Giving me the slack that propels

Me along with gravity,

Towards the ground.

Two more leaps

It was over, solid ground

Beneath my feet. From nervous to elated

In three leaps....

It didn’t look that high from the ground. Just steps, just water, just a splash and it was done.

But from the top, it was sky. It was every mistake I’d ever made echoing beneath me. My toes curled around the edge as if they might learn to fly before I did.

The pool shrank into a postage stamp. The lifeguard looked bored. The kids behind me were waiting, dripping, loud.

I was still. Not brave. J...

A little pinch.

A little wince.

Keep breathing, keep breathing.

It flowed so freely…

But contained it now be.

The task completing,

The fear now fleeting.

A few drops just to see

Am I healthy?

Unafraid and beaming

No longer silently screaming

I rise from the seat where I rose to the occasion

Standing tall and strong, only to fall without vision

From blue to then red to now possibly dead ...

I felt gravity was losing grip with me as I struggled to reach for the rope, and my body was protruding and couldn’t hold the weight, thinking the rope would snap in half; but I had to overcome my fears as I continued to hold on because I had no choice, so I sprinted down and to my surprise I enjoyed zip lining...

To succeed is to stop taking

A bloodied knife

  sits within the ribs

Life is like your favorite drug

  I slowly drink

    the poison cup

A bloodied knife

  within the ribs

My first rescuing

    from this dying world

I slowly drink

  the poison cup

Shadows grab

  my broken hands

My first rescuing

  from this dying world

I saved myself

  before the others

Shadows grab

  my broken hands

Dry tear...

My mind said I would fail.

That in this new chapter I would not sail.

I had no confidence to begin.

No belief in myself that I had within.

But determined to prove myself wrong.

I set out to rewrite my mind’s song.

I took the first step in this life stage.

I was ever motivated to write my own page.

I had been a shy and quiet soul my whole life.

Ever feeling inadequate and lost in strife.

Out of tha...

The first time I let my guard down

I didn’t know it would elicit the beginning

The most adventurous ride one could ask

But before I knew it

You had stolen my heart

Just as I thought I had nothing left

You showed me I still have so much to give

I never thought I would love again

Pain will do that to you

Make you believe you’re unworthy

Make you think you don’t deserve it

Especially when it comes fr...
