Convictions

Jump!
But I don’t
I’m afraid of landing in a swamp
Diving!
Now that has more style
a commitment to your convictions
and a determination to dance
with the consequence of your intentions
but why not just sit and think
while away the hours
and do nothing
go the safe route
I guess I just like to test the foundation
to see if it is as solid and I think
It creates confidence that leads to success
This, of course, is a fruitation of risk
and any risk means that I need to jump
Either feet first or headfirst
The only difference is:
with one you are smiling
while in the other
a grimace is your sole companion
and I much prefer to smile...
