To the world you may be just one person, but to one person you are the world.

Wait at the top, attentive,
Moments left to live,
Or would I soar,
Probably not, I think as I stare at the sidewalk far below,
Imagining my body crumpled below in gore,
A splash quite unnoticed,
So I jump,
Greater and more free,
Than the birds flying above me,
Farther and farther,
Higher and higher they climb,
As farther and farther I fall,
Through the thousand mile sky.
