AFRO387

Take that leap of faith.
Jump off that cliff.

Something awaits you on the other side—
even if you can’t see it yet.

You may not fully know it,
but you feel it.
You see it in your dreams.
It stays on your mind,
persistent, unrelenting.

You know it’s worth the try,
yet you keep second-guessing.

What if?
A thousand times per second,
it echoes through your thoughts.

But what if is when you try.
What if is when you jump.

What if is the outcome
of the actions you take
and the consequences
of the actions you don’t.

What if is also regret—
when you look back
and realize the time you lost,
the chances you never took,
how afraid you were of failing.
