Central Square

Is this what it feels like to be alive?
I raise my arms to the disconnected sky.
Sitting on a rooftop, getting unbelievably high.

My fingers spread and capture the breeze
Oh, how I could jump off fifty stories with ease.
Is there even anyone that would miss me?

The darkest of thoughts corrupt my heart
The Angel and Devil inside, tearing me apart
Telling me it's all been a waste from the start.

I step off the ledge, not wanting to meet my end.
My emotions expand, break, and bend,
I turn around, and simply disappear again.
