What is loneliness?
From way up high;
My heart is skipping beats,
I don’t know whether to cry.
Weak in the knees,
My feet are dangling helplessly.
The sun is so bright, I can barely see
Let alone now feel the cement,
Which confides beneath me
Fingers griped so tightly against nothing.
Angst has pealed away the skin.
Numbing me, only to feel within,
My heart.
It’s beating only to take a chance
Wanting to fall,
Just to learn if I can fly…
Author notes
In my afternoon art class we had to go outside and find some where we normally dont feel comfortable. I "dared" to sit on a ledge because im not a fan of heights. It overlooked the side of a building crawling down into a puddle with cement blocks burried under the water. The other part, after having to draw it was to write about it. We only had 10 minutes, thats what i came up with. Just alittle something.
