Won't

I won't look down.

I've never done this before.

I can't believe I'm up here among the stars.

It must be beautiful.

But I won't look.

What if I fall.

What if I look and I can't see anything at all.

I shut my eyes.

Trying to shut out the temptation.

To look.

Just a peek.

Well alright.

Just one look.

I can't be afraid forever.

Anyway, maybe it is time for me to fall.

So much meaning packed into so few beautifully expressive words. Very, very well done.

My favorite line: "It must be beautiful/But I won't look". Very nice.
