Air

And I take the leap:         This is what flying feels like One voice says to me          This is what falling is Another voice says           And I sometimes                               wonder                                           which voice I should listen to           Those are the days                                I wonder                                            what flying feels like            I wonder                       if I could feel the air in my face                                                                          in my hair                         spreading my lips into a smile            Or if all I could feel was an impact                                        A shattering of bones                                               A skip of the heartbeat                                                                               and then            no more....                                   Was it even worth jumping in the first place then? If my life last only mere seconds                                     why even consider it?                                                                   But I think has something to do                                                                                                                       with the difference                                                between                                       living                                             and                                                  barely                                                         surviving
