                i swing backwards, balancing 
                on my heels on the railings,
                gripping the rusty bars with my hands.

        ("one day you'll..
                        ..fall.. and there will be..
        ..no one.. there to catch you.."

        'that sounds like a threat, 
        are you scared of me?')
        
                i lean forwards again.
                that view's dizzying.. magnificent..

        ("why do you.. insist.. 
                        on throwing yourself.. headfirst..
        at every obstacle? why do you ..refuse..
                        to be saved?")

                i laugh. loud and long and empty.
                there is.. so much.. space to fill..

        ("and these morbid thoughts! where do they come from?
        do you realise i've *never* seen you cry?"

        'are you SCARED of me?
        you try so hard to tame me i think you must be!
        am i cold and emotionless?
        am i uncaring and bitter?
        it's foolish to think you can change me.
        none of us can make a difference.')

                ..and no one there to catch me?
                well, that's just fine..
                
        ('i will not be broken
        however much you soften the blows i still bruise,
        i still bleed. i STILL AM SCARRED.)

                i swing again, leaning forward.
                these railing are old and
                you're not supposed to look down...
