Safe for "Sunday Scribblings"



Safe
This is a love hate relationship
safe..
What if I do this?
What if I don't?
Will it be ok?
Safe..
Safe is a trickster.
Not jumping off the cliff would be safe.


Jumping in feet first could be a real rush.
A real crash too
Could take me to never never land..
Could be fun?
Not jumpin'?
Never..
I've got a parachute in my heart.
It always keeps me safe
as long as I believe in it..
follow it..
Listen.

Not safe is when I ignore the whispers..
then the darkness comes..
the judging
the comparisons..
When I listen I am safely in the
SuNsHiNe..
