Poetry: Taking a chance on love

by Ebony Hunter

Alas, I'm the girl nobody cared to know

The one that refused

To let any emotion show

The same girl that believed

the world was full of hate

perhaps, now, something will change


They say to be free, you must take a leap

The fall may seem long

But you have to believe

Take a chance and jump

Off the ledge of security

Jump into love

Jump into hope

I can be the girl that one man knows


If I back away from possibility

I'll be stuck with routine

And I'll always be the girl who cries

The girl who internally dies

That's not how I want to live my life


So I'll close my eyes

Pray to heaven above

Jump from depression

And fall into love
