Mar 2014
Closing my eyes,
I'm afraid of heights,
These skyscraper fears
Are crumbling beneath
My feet and I have
Nothing to hold onto.
I will live like tomorrow
Is never going to come,
But I'm not ready to fall
To my death,
My wings have been clipped
I'm weak,
I'm selfish,
I need the safety net
Beneath my shaking feet.

No,
Push me,
Let me fall,
Let the air kiss my cheeks
Like sharp, cold knives
As I plummet into chaos
And pierce the Earth
Like a meteor.
