feeling your breath on my skin
bring tingling shivers down my spine
I'm holding my breathe hoping this
lasts forever

I could never be a skyscraper,
never an airplane.

I could never be the Space Needle,
never the Eiffel Tower.

I could never, ever be Mount Everest,
never a California redwood.

I've a fear of heights, you see,
space and motion not my thing.

"Confront your fear," they say.

But let's face it, I just can't face it.

"Do it for me," she said.

Well, if it takes climbing the sky
to prove my love for you,
I guess I'll die trying.

Literally.

So long as we don't talk about
my even bigger fear of widths...

Sometimes I wish
things were different
or better
but when I look around
me, I realize I don't
want anything to change.

I just want
you to know
that you are
not worthless,
everyone has a
purpose in life,
no matter who you are.

Remember,
the best things in life are free

...plus tax
...license
...and recycling fee
