I never knew such beauty could exist.
The house she dreamt of was finally real,
as real as the maple wooden floor under her feet,
as real as the briny air filling her lungs.
She covers her eyes slightly as she looks out at the horizon,
a big change from the box she used to call home.
She steps out on the balcony, caged bird nervously crawling out for the first time.
Time to take her wings for a test drive.
She takes another step with purpose now,
standing on the edge of the cliff.
One....two....to hell with three, here I go.
Down she jumps like a seagull diving for fish.
She was diving for her freedom,
The view on the way down is to die for, so if I do, no regrets.
The wind violently blew her hair upwards
as she cut through it like razor sharp scissors through cloth.
Hands to her chest she felt the wild drummings of her heart.
She didn't know it could do that, she didn't even know if it was still there.
She points her feet downwards, in a moment she'll touch the ocean.
Three....two....to hell with one
SPLASH!
