Skyscrapers

The stars mended overhead Igniting the night Sounds of the bustling highways Blocking out the fear of falling I stared up at the skyscrapers No one would notice if I fell Life would keep going on It always does A cold breeze brushed through Taking a step at a time Up the skyscraper Until I see the skyline Lights exploded In the whites of my eyes A city engulfed in darkness Standing still It only took a second For my feet to fly off the concrete Plunging towards the ground No one noticed I jumped. The world keeps moving on.
