Hands Free

Training wheels off.
If I’m being honest,
they were on too long.

Kickstand up
I’m not nervous,
I’m excited.

Pedals moving.
I like this feeling.

Speed picking up.
I love this feeling.

Balanced against the wind.
The cares of the world behind me.

What would happen
if I took my hands
off the handle bar?

Would I fall or
would I surprise myself
and keep going?

One
Two
Three

Here goes
everything.
