Take the elevator
And reach the top,
Where the view lays sprawled
Before you.
Walk to the edge,
To the very, very edge.
Lean over,
And have a frightening
Thought,
One that you never
Expected to have.
I could jump.
Right now, I could jump.
Now hope to God
You ́re not crazy
To feel that way.
You ́re not.
The french have a saying for it.
L ́appel du vide.
The call of the void.
It beckons
For your body to
Take control.
But something jerks you back.
It’s your mind.
What a twisted way
To let you know you are
Grateful for the view.
