My sister convicted me to do something crazy

Heights have never been my thing

I’m standing in the line for bungee jumping and I’m feeling hazy

Wondering how I’m going to be held up by that little string

Minutes which feels like days go by

I’m standing on a bridge like structure

About to take on this jump from up high

I turn around and edge my feet off of the platform , my head feeling like it’s bound to rupture

And suddenly I’m falling

Falling

Falling

Falling

The water under the bridge is calling

And suddenly

I’m upside down

Looking at the world from a whole new angle

I see the bridge where my feet last touched the ground

I hear the wind and the metal making a slight jangle

I feel the rope with which I am bound

I smell the thick smell of the lake below where I dangle

I taste the blood from where I bit my tongue during the tangle

I think

I’m upside down

I defeated that height!

What else can I defeat with the rest of my life?
