Dare

My Painting- Paradise walls
Inside of my heart
I hear that word
I say it to myself,
Asking
If I have what it takes
To dare…

Dare to be bold
Dare to reach out
Dare to let my guard down
I realize that I am beginning to do those things
and
Everyday I dare a little more
To dream 
Grasp the vision
 and explore
Why I was created
Using the key to unlock the door and see
Just how I will fulfill my destiny

There is so much more
Than where I am right now
I feel it!
I have felt it so strong
For a very long time
and
I feel like the closer that I get
To reaching out and taking hold of my purpose
It is squeezing me so tight
Trying to force me forward
Into the unknown
Do I take the dare?
And let go…when I couldn’t tell you
What tomorrow would bring?

Do I choose to take hold of who I am inside
with complete certainty
Can I dare to walk into an unknown freedom
Or
Stay back in a known bondage
to the past that held me for so long?

Take a deep breath
Hold it
Make sure you don’t let go yet
Are you ready?
Now…
Just let go, and dare!
