Daredevil

Blood rushing backwards, as
I am crashing towards the Earth.
Head beneath the clouds...
Have I fallen, or am I dreaming?

My life flashing before my eyes,
and my heartbeat in my head.
All that I can hear is wind.
(Like a piece of the sky falling...)

Faster and faster,
to the momment of impact.
My tears raining down upon the clouds.
Shall I never touch the ground?

To paint the sidewalk.
There is a spotlight.
This is my landing!
A feather pillow...

    Hey! I almost did that unintentionally.

    So, a friendly bump for all those feather pillows.

    Can you believe that stuntmen...
    are paid for jumping off buildings?

    i don't know if you wrote this thinking of the comic (daredevil of course) but if you didn't let me tell you that it fits perfectly... the view of daredevil diving into the air from a skycraper in his quest for justice just comes to mind, besides, that darkish kind of feeling that you gave to it reminds me of his turbulent past.....
    "No, not that way, you yuppie scumbag...This way!" McCready grabs the guitar, whips it around his head like it was a woodchopper's axe and brings it crashing down in an explosion of splinter. "There, now you try it."
