City Lights

Standing near the ledge The sky looks so pretty Wind blows her hair Above the noise of the city Engines hum in unison Lights twinkle, music plays People pass on by Finishing up their days The sun is hiding now She can barely see the stars Her eyes look down to Examine all her scars So insignificant is Her life here in this place Fingers reach to feel Tears fall down her face Alone in this moment Unwanted and used No one to help her So tattered and abused Her toes try to guide her Feeling freedom of the fall She can’t help but wonder Would they miss her at all? The world keeps moving People keep passing by Would she find freedom If she fell to the sky? Questions unanswered Another scar is made She turns her back around And fights another day CEC 10-28-2013 5:20pm
