The Building

Written: October 30, 2022

Theres something about looking down

from an open window 

on the 20th floor 

that is so tragically beautiful.

The only thing between you

and being a splat on the ground

is trust 

in the window glass,

the construction workers,

or the steel pipe. 

the faith

that atleast one of these three things 

is as it should be

is the only thing keeping you there. 

all the way up, 

looking down. 

the more you look , 

the more your heart beats faster, 

and your stomach drops. 

the height of the building, 

the concrete floor down below, 

the people passing by to see the impact. 

its all right there 

right infront of you. 

This is a moment you feel truly alive,

for it is a moment in which you know death.
