Diving In The Sky

My heart won’t stop pounding,
My knee jumps with nerves,
I hope no one can tell.
Professionals stare at me emotionless,
They’ve jumped many times before.
Nodding in approval,
It is my turn to go.
Pushed into the open,
A wave of air invigorates me.
All my inhibitions diminish.
With nothing left to lose,
I am falling with uneasiness…
