testing the waters
for the exact feeling
that only so many people get in thier life
there are not a lot of perfect situations
and a great number of sharks that patrol these parts
the fear is a very real thing
that walks up and says hi
just when you are not expecting it
these dreams are becoming real
and the last thing you needed
but that is okay because the strong make it through
and the weak get tougher
and everyone gets what they deserve
if the end result is not what you expected
then you are waking up to life
and there is no way to dodge
you just jump in the river
and enjoy the ride
or know that you
are not quite there
yet
