I sit, I wait


A Poem by: GhostWriter17


****



I sit, I wait
and I appreciate
all of life's little joys.

I sigh, I lie
and I realize
how wonderful life is.

I stare, I blink
at the clouds and think
about how I wish to fly.

I see, I gaze
and in a rainbow-colored haze
she quickly speeds by.

I sigh, I cry
and pray once more
so I may one day fly.

A poster in my bedroom,
A fan-club just for her,
the one that I adore,
Rainbow my sister, forevermore.

I breathe, I swallow
staring at the ground below
catching my belated breath.

I gasp, I wheeze
as my feathers shiver in the breeze,
cold and unnerving.

I step, I pace
closer to the cliff's face
the edge hanging dangerously.

I shiver, I shake
but I don't wish to fake
my ever growing fear.

I've always come here,
saying that I'd jump,
but I'm here once again,
and now I'm ready to take the plunge.

My wings, they expand
to their greatest width, not very grand
but I care no longer.

Will I die? 
I do not know.
All I do know, 
is that down is the only way to go.

I leap, leaving the ground
and I plunge,
going down, down, down.

My descent has finally begun.
