Views From Sixteen Stories Up

tiny little specks

From sixteen stories up

The view is nice from here

But when I look down

Not everything is clear

I can’t see their faces

I can’t see what they’re wearing

And even then, I try

I sit here

And I’m staring

From sixteen stories up

I wonder if I fell

Who would be there to catch me

What story would they tell

From sixteen stories up

The world feels kind of small

But we all know that’s not true

This world isn’t small at all

From sixteen stories up

They’re all just little specks

I hope in this big whole world

I’m someone you won’t forget

just someone learning, unlearning, and laughing through the chaos.
