BUUUUUNNNNNGGEEEEEEE!!!!! JUMP.A Poem by Tyrae'HeightsIt's a little past noon It'll be our turn soon We're almost next in line We're hurriedly comforting each other "We'll be fine, we'll be fine!"
My legs are shaking I'm afraid of heights I was so terrified of this That I haven't been able to sleep right For the past three nights.
"OHGOSH" I whisper As the first couple goes down The beginning is so intense that they don't make a sound
They laugh as it's finishing up I shudder Like a newborn pup
Suddenly it's our turn We're already strapped in and ready to go "Tell my family back in Georgia I love them" Is what I want the world to know
We're being pulled up, Yanked by the cord.
We're laying parallel, Facing the ground.
The ground hovers under me I'm up so high And I know that this is the point where I should close my eyes So I do But my sister won't let me forget She's constantly screaming "WE'REGONNADIE,WE'REGONNADIE!"
My eyes may be closed But I'm still yelling for her to, "SHUT THE HECK UP!" I know it won't work, but I just want my way Just because your eyes are shut Doesn't mean the image goes away
I can feel it now We're slowing down We must be at the top. Since I'm already wet from the waterslide I allow myself to let a little pee drop.....
Down below They countdown from three My sister is begging the guy to hear her plea "DON'TPULLTHECORD!!!" She screams.
The guy next to her refuses to listen He tells her, "LETGOOFMYARM!" This Asian guy's on a mission... And it's clear that he's not chickening out No matter how much she screams and shouts
I prepare myself While they're debating I'm thinking, "Where the HECK is my Superman?" I was counting on him to do the saving
After all the preparing Nothing prepares me for the shock My mind went blank As I felt myself DDD . . . RRRRR . . . OOOOOOO . . . PPPPPPPPPPPP
We fell so long That I swear I blacked out By this time, none of us could muster a shout....
Finally we reached the bottom Feeling disoriented and free Like an attorney in the courtroom Our faces remained solem But look in our eyes filled with glee
My sister and I took one look below us to see The man who dared us And made us want to flee We stared this guy down And we screamed.... "IN YOUR FACE DAAAADDDDYYYY!!!"
