Here we are,

On a freezing cold surface.

The thick  fog covers my face.

 

I am as cold as ice.

Wearing a sweater, under a sweater,

Under a coat.

 

I shiver.

 

He fastens the belt,

I hold on.

It’s an enclosure.

 

I have 15mins,

I need to do my best.

 

A ladybug flutters past.

A good luck sign.

 

He lets go,

I jump.

 

I jump high into the sky,

WEEEEEEE!

 

I smile.

The ladybug was right,

I am having fun.

 

I close my eyes,

I am flying.

 

I am flying,

Higher than the rain clouds that held me down.

I am flying, I smile.

 

The cold wind blows against my face.

I repeat to myself:

 

“I am happy, I am calm, I am free

I am happy, I am calm, I am free.”
