Leap Out

Life is just a distraction
From all our honest reactions.
We live up to expectations,and force affectations.

All we are is scared
From what reality might’ve shared.
We need to believe and look beyond
We need to believe and just respond.

Respond to our heart, don’t fall apart.
Respond to our brain, no longer be in pain.

Leap out of your shell
And you shall feel well.
That’s the next big stride
You are now away from the hide.
