I Fall

The girl swayed, the persistent wind pushing up her back again, threatening a fall the way that it had last time as if pushing her towards the tips of the unsteady platform that she stood on. The girl held her ground staring down towards the height of the fall and her imminent fate that she knew could come soon but for now at least she done all that she could to stand firm and tall, still looking, still waiting until her fall. To love or to break that was the question, to breath or to drown that was the question and to live or to die that was also the question. What will she chose? She had neither answer or choice in the matter, hope failing her she had only despair, that was all that she had. 'It's madness' they would say and it was she knew, she almost lost her mind and all of her sanity, almost but however she didn't. She was still here though, on one of the tallest skyscrapers that was known to man staring out towards the city and the pointed buildings of New York that reached so high towards the Heavens but never seeming to reach it or maybe they didn't have to. That didn't stop the wanting to though but then again wanting something and needing something are two completely different things entirely like now and the want to live bit but the need  of the matter was that she was going to fall at some point. That was a fact as well as a need and as the girl stared below into the city's mists that consumed below and the height of the fall, making it hard to judge whether or not it was just a few feet in depth or whether it was a collection of masses and masses of a drop. It was hard to determine the fall but it was easy enough for the girl to determine that it was a fallen height from the ear pounding whips of air that past her and pushed her, heck it was even easy enough to hear the silence; the kind that was so deathly silent that if a pin drop fell you'd hear it. Silence filled the air and so did the pounding of the girl's chest as the wind pushed once more, as her feet clung on to her threshold. Once more she held her ground and once more she contemplated her fall. To fall or not to fall that was the question, that seemed to be the only question now taken from the unanswered questions that she had once before. To fall she wouldn't be able to pull herself back up again but not to she would be living herself into  a lie. Do I fall or don't I? The girl knew not an answer, she knew not her mind and with a tear rolling down her face she gasped, the wind pushed her. The girl fell. Falling, falling, falling as her life flashed before her eyes, falling, falling, falling she fell. Thinking not how she fell or why but her thoughts only drove her to the fall. She fell, she fell, she fell, falling, falling, falling, unaware of the time she fell until it hit her, the impact grounded her and then she was gone.
