Won't get me up there, can't get me to try, <br />Looking down a ravine, from a mile up in the sky, <br />What's heady for some, is nothing for another <br />A bit of bungee jumping, said my big brother. <br /> <br />With rubbers attached to my trembling feet <br />Whatever possessed me to take that leap, <br />I jumped into the future, at the blink of an eye <br />Like a flash of lightning, my life passed me by. <br /> <br />Now the thrill is over, hanging upside down in the air <br />I swallowed my pride and I did it for a dare, <br />Alone at the end of it, just getting my breath <br />In future, I'll leave it, to those who don't fear death.. <br /> <br />© Hazel 2012<br /><br />Hazel Connelly<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/bungee-jump/
