Overcome

Hand over hand,

You slowly ascend,

Afraid of the impact,

You would have in the end.

Many times had you dreamt,

Of this very day.

The day that your fears,

Would all go away.

You have summoned the courage,

To climb to the top.

But more courage is needed,

For the hundred foot drop.

You remember so clearly,

The snickers and sneers,

The way they would tease you,

For showing your fears.

But today will be different,

You will prove them all wrong,

And show them how truly,

You want to belong.

As you stand there triumphant,

Perched up on your ledge,

you make the mistake,

of looking down over the edge.

The people below,

Looked at you in awe.

They watched on in horror,

Couldn't believe what they saw.

From up on the scaffold,

Way up in the sky,

The dizziness got you,

You fell from ahigh.

At first, just a gasp,

But then to a scream,

Then suddenly you realized,

This isn't a dream.

You really had done it,

It wasn't that bad,

You thought to yourself,

Then suddenly...Splash!
