Questions

Can I trust in something
that's beyond my control?
can I feel the weight of something
I just can't hold?

tangible, yet it lingers
just beyond my grasp
and there's no way of telling
how long it will last
it's easily lost
I don't know how it's found
I'm drawn to the ledge
and I can't see the ground

now it won't let me eat
and it won't let me sleep
I guess all that's left
is to take that leap
then the doubt rolls in
with a deafening roar
and I just don't know
what to do anymore

is this something new?
was it here all along?
will it make me weak
or will it make me strong?
I should think about this but
I may not have long
and I won't know what I missed
until after it's gone

it's all so strange
like nothing I've known
but it's all so familiar to me
like my home
and I don't know what's down there
or how far I'll fall
but I've nothing to lose,
so I'm risking it all

now I'm trusting in something
beyond my control
I feel the weight of something
I just can't hold
it's not something new
it was here all along
and it won't make me weak
it will make me strong

but a question remains
as I soar through the air
when I hit the bottom
will you still be there?
