falling upward

One foot in front of the next
I don't look down  
I'm scared but without hesitation
I took a deep breath  
my dress catches in  the wind  
arms held open  
hair blows
I've done everything wrong  
so I'm letting go  
I exhale  
eyes closed
The breath of the morning sticks to my skin
progressing to the ledge  
movie reels playing my head
watching the life I was afraid to live
but I'm trembling afraid to take the next step
Walking on fate
In the hands of the fallen I plummet
Uncontrollably my soul departs
Falling upward I've been torn apart
With an innocence that was there all along
Buried in the shadows of my demented ways
My body soulless arms and legs waving on the way down
Screams coming from my mouth  
Smashing down
I've been relieved of my demon's  
heaven bond
