She stands at the edge of a New York skyscraper
looking down, thinking of her life
the sadness ,the pain, the love
She has seen things no 14 year -old girl
should have seen
deaths kidnappings murders
but there have been happy times too.
The first time they saw eachother
the instant sparks
the first kiss, the fights, the make-ups.
She looks up at the stars one last time.
(Not that she can see them in the city)
She looks back at the ground, takes a deep breath
and jumps.
Free-falling for 40 or so feet
just falling
experiencing the weightless-ness of it all.
Then she unfurls her wings and flys away.
