Launch off if you want to go somewhere,
rocket off like you just don't care.
But you care,
because you want to get somewhere,
somewhere nice,
not a place frozen and cold like ice.

We got to take off and dare,
not let fear knock us out of the air.
Got to make an attempt,
or remain in the category exempt.
Those afraid to launch out,
get nowhere around or about.

Writing is a launch for me,
took off so slow a turtle could see.
But I lifted off the ground,
and still trying to fly around.
It's not how high I fly,
but the fact that I didn't let fear,
make me lay down and die.

G
