I was sitting on the top ledge of the tallest building of the city. My feet dangled.
If I die young,
When I looked at them, I saw the scene fifty stories below. People, little as ants.
Bury me in satin
That's all we were, really. Just small creatures.
Lay me down on a
If one dies, another takes its place. No one cares.
Bed of roses
As I looked down, I considered my options.
1. I could live the rest of my miserable life, living when no one cares about me.
Sink me in a river
2. I could jump. I could blissfully fall into nothingness, finally seeing my older brother my parents; my family.
At dawn
I stood up. My hair was whipping in the wind. My hair.
Send me away
A constant reminder of my parents. I had the exact shade of midnight black ringlets as my mother.
With the words of a love song
My eyes. I had a mix color of my dad's green eyes and my mom's blue
A penny for my thoughts
They were green in the center, spreading outwards like an explosion to a lighter green that faded into blue. I had a golden color at the rims.
Oh, no, I'll sell them for a dollar
I got up and backed away from the edge, tears blurring my vision as they started streaming down my face. I looked up at the dark clouds and the bright silver crescent moon and the beautiful stars.
They're worth so much more
I heard the city noises below me. I couldn't do it.
After I'm a goner
I screwed my eyes shut and ran. Ran as fast as I could possibly go.
Then maybe you'll hear the words I've been singing
Where did I run, you may ask? I ran towards the ledge.
Funny when you're dead how people start listening
And.
I.
Jumped.
