My Chance

I want to fly
I grab hold
Of the railing
I step up
I look down
I see nothing
But black water
Right below me
This is my chance…
My chance to fly
I look up
The clouds turned gray
The rain starts to pour
The lightning strikes
The thunder loudens
I let go of the railing
I balance myself
I look ahead
I see nothing
I close my eyes
I still see nothing
I feel nothing
I hear nothing
For I am numb
I open my eyes
I take one step
I take another
I fall…
Is it too late
To not want to fly
