At the edge of space I contemplate
The best way to go about expressing this...this..
All-consuming breathless reckless calm frightened indifferent contradictory stillness
And I can't figure it out because it's not even words anymore
So I laugh and look up, around, and I feel so tiny and insignificant
Look back down and still just as small related to anything anyone everything everyone
Bemused and confused, still a little bruised
Either way I don't belong so I close my eyes and let go
Out
Of
My
Head
Soaring
Soaring
Soaring...
Oh
No
Oh
No
Oh
No
I think
I grabbed
A backpack
Instead of a
Parachute
So
If I
Shatter
When I
Crash
From being
Brutally
Exposed
Weak and
Unprotected
Just
Remember
That
At least I
Enjoyed
The fall,
The feeling.
