The Jump

"In the door"

The loadmaster says.

Its me,

I'm there,

I give him my gaze!

"Take position"

I look out of the plane,

Wondering

Is my life a game?

"Go"

He says,

I almost crack.

Im out of the plane

With a chute on my back!

It's open,

It's up,

And I'm ok!

I float to the ground.

Not sure

I would do it again!
