She’s Right

I think too much,

I need to stop thinking.

But only,

When I don’t know what to think.

That’s when I act.

I spend so much time thinking,

So much time trying to figure out what to do,

So much time forgetting to act.

I forget to live.

I forget to love.

I forget what I stand for,

Because I’m not willing.

I’m not willing to run,

I’m not willing to scream.

I’m not willing to dive.

I always say,

Maybe one day.

But one day,

I will look back and say,

Why didn’t I

Why didn’t I take that leap of faith.

Why didn’t I run.

Why didn’t I try to fly,

even though I knew I might fail.

But I wouldn’t have,

For true failure,

Is the loss of will,

The loss of drive,

The loss of action.

Failure.

Is giving up.
