I stand on the ledge looking down.
"What is it like to fly?" I think to myself.
The people have started to gather.
"What do I really have to lose?
You only live once, right?"
Flashing lights.
"Goodbye Father."
A man with a megaphone.
"Goodbye Mother."
I am calm.
"Goodbye Brother."
I have thought about it.
"Goodbye Sister."
I spread my wings and jump.
My reflection against the glass falls with me.
I wave, but my reflection stays motionless.
It simply looks back and says Goodbye.
I am not a bird.
I cannot fly.
I can only Fall.
