heights

by Mee (@mees.quill.pen)

i built this all myself, brick by hallowed brick, but 

god knows, darling, if i am anything,

an engineer i am not, i am just a man with hands and clay

and all the time in the world.

it will hold as long as i stand here alone and do not look down

to see if you might be following me up this tower, as long as

i can pretend we will understand each other all the way to a top.

i don't know where i'm going, just that i have to keep 

laying in new stairs.

i am afraid of heights and i do not want to fall.

A girl of many words with passions in many worlds - Mee is a high schooler with a burning enthusiasm for writing, music, and baking. When she's not lost in the pages of a good book, she's likely messing up cookie recipes in the kitchen, aggressively debating someone in a Model UN, capturing life's beauty through photography, or strumming out a tune on her ukulele. She also has her own writing site, always seeking fresh ways to connect, grow, and discover.
