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!
