Hand over hand,
You slowly ascend,
Afraid of the impact,
You would have in the end.

Many times had you dreamt,
Of this very day.
The day that your fears,
Would all go away.

You have summoned the courage,
To climb to the top.
But more courage is needed,
For the hundred foot drop.

You remember so clearly,
The snickers and sneers,
The way they would tease you,
For showing your fears.

But today will be different,
You will prove them all wrong,
And show them how truly,
You want to belong.

As you stand there triumphant,
Perched up on your ledge,
you make the mistake,
of looking down over the edge.

The people below,
Looked at you in awe.
They watched on in horror,
Couldn't believe what they saw.

From up on the scaffold,
Way up in the sky,
The dizziness got you,
You fell from ahigh.

At first, just a gasp,
But then to a scream,
Then suddenly you realized,
This isn't a dream.

You really had done it,
It wasn't that bad,
You thought to yourself,
Then suddenly...Splash!

Some and not others whipsaw crazy headlights gleaming not in the right but swerves heavy to the left and cackles it's ok, it's alright. Grackly hands descend from ahigh to grasp a young cheek and laugh why. Too-bright lights and too-harsh smiles carry us into the future for days and miles. Brought up on too much salt and too much sugar they burn like moth gods and they die in droves. Speciel endization is all in the lighting, the moisture content and land levels. Look at the moon and say it isn't true; it's mocking us yet awaiting you.

She was born at zero and waited seven years to be a hero and the story is that instead of dying she pushed all the red buttons and got to flying. Mars was on the loom so she needed extra room for all the food and water. She arrived at age eight and a galactic hero, to be everyone's daughter but eventually just a genetic *** barrel.

Because the farther we go
The farther we are.
But the further we go
The further we are.
