I wrote this in 2001 when I was considering whether to take another leap of faith, change my role at work and branch out to learn a new skillset. It was scary! But I was glad I did in the end...

Things you've known a while; you hear it on repeat...

Pressure's on, but try to smile and focus on your dreams:

More meaning to your soul, not chained in 9to5,

needed, happy, useful... in a life that gives you pride.

Trust in that hard-won vision that's so hard to express

the physical pain that's in your heart comes only from regrets.

"Another me, another life" is spinning round your head -

searching, driven, need to try - but can you make the bet?

Gather your pride and make a new life, before you overload

Stop doing this stuff to yourself - just find a different mode

Living lies, don't you know they kill you from inside?

Stop the tears and lose the fear of that fulfilled, better life.
