Hesitations

A dream realized,
a fantasy fulfilled,
if you just take the jump.
Put yourself out there.
Opportunity only come knocking
when he knows where you live.
Nervousness is normal.
Change is unavoidable.
Take a deep breath,
remember your goal,
and go for it.
Sounds easier than it feels, huh?



Part of this week's Poetry Potluck from Jingle Poetry. Which, part of the reason I checked out the blog was due to the initials JP, same as mine.
