some sense of security

i know my limitations. i know what holds me back.
i know there are ways around it, but these are indefinite.
however the path, the journey that i take to find what i seek
however, wherever it leads, if anywhere at all, is part of the learning
its a small chance, but its one i would do anything for
so here comes the plunge, sacrifice for uncertainty
the ice cold water stills your lungs and you fear for your life
but you don't regret. you know you have done the right thing
you know that this is worth it, even if nothing will come from it.
