In the gym
Three others are with me
I say:
“I will try to touch the rim!”
“Alright!” Shouts one of the kids with me
I stand back 30ish feet from the rim
Readying myself for what was to come
“Just think of it as jumping.”
“Don’t overthink it.”
Says a voice in my head
I start to run
Step
Step
Step
JUMP!
Soaring
Soaring
Soaring
Contact
Falling
Falling
Landing
Running
In exhilaration
A feeling of purest joy.
Some days during the last block of school I feel like falling asleep.
Not because I don't care about school. In fact I want to learn,
I find it absurd that the President is doing so much bad I no longer have the capacity to feel any more.
I have become
numb
numb to the fact that this man has broken so many laws you can't even count them.
When I first saw the news that Charlie Kirk had been shot I was scrolling through YouTube so I paid it no heed. Then I heard people in the hallways talking about what had happened.
