What if?

Commitment propelling me forward

Dazzling and glorious rays 

The humid heatwave against my fortitude

Stopping is effortless

Though, I cannot

My heart thumping has reason

To see out my journey

Aching in pain

A jump lies ahead

Nerves fatiguing my pace

My capabilities are in question

Skin piercing thorns

Lounging beneath the rocks

I feared the worst

What if?

Failure, disappointment, defeat?

Adrenaline seized any doubt 

A beautiful weightless second

Arms clashing the breeze

Leaping over the gap of agony

Distress and fear

No longer in control

I smile with pride

I am free
