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.
I write to shut out the world.
I want to get lost in my own worlds
Not thinking about life and what’s happening in the world right now.
I write to escape to a whole new world where I have control of everything.
We as Americans are very self centered.
We think that the world revolves around ourselves and not anyone else.
We lack in awareness that allows us to be able to say “oh that has nothing to do with me and that’s okay.”
