On top of the building no one in sight
But a little girl shivering in fright.
As she stands at the edge
All the noise around her
She wonders what it would be like to fly
To jump from her body
And soar through the sky
Those fluttering wings will take her to where she’s never been
To places where no one has ever seen
The wind breaks her hair from her pins
Lets her loose sets her free
A smile on her face, this battle she finally wins
She feels concrete under her feet
She’s back at the ledge
But she won’t go back to being trapping and confined
She leaps off the edge, her body detached from her mind
She watches herself fall with arms spread wide
She feels the energy flow through as she takes one more breath
She opens her eyes to see herself fall to her death.
