I was only five years old The first time i leapt from the boat I was shivering from the cold Staring down at the water below They said many have done the jump And that it wasn’t very high In my throat forms a lump ‘Then why, why can’t I?’ ‘Because I hate the feeling of falling And flailing helplessly in the air...’ In the water I hear them calling, “Jump in! Don’t be scared!” So I take a deep breath, Close my eyes I’m scared to death But want to try I make the leap My heart jumps in my throat This moment I’ll keep The first time i leapt from the boat (I don’t really write poems so sorry if it isn’t that good)
