there are thousands of you out there
colorful flashes
unbridled motion
this way
and
that
white with bright
from my vantage point,
inside_looking_out
i see your laughter
and your fear
raw emotion paints your faces
and mine
with downcast eyes and downturned lips
my emotional struggle is unhidden
to those looking
being an onlooker to this spectacle churns my stomach
i want to be you
i want to bear the brunt of mother nature's chill
i want to be vertically challenged
i want to fly
i want
i want
do i need?
yes, i need.
it is a slippery slope
both figuratively and quite literally
and as the significance of life
versus what comes next
prickles the back of my neck
i realize
that though death came knocking
even turned the knob
but i did not answer
what
might
have
been
i chose well
alive
is
now
soon
i'll be
one of you
upturned lips
eyes bright
soon
but
not
yet
